Aside from ubiquitous squirrels and Dean of the College Nancy Malkiel’s dog Skipper, the campus is home to a range of animals that secretly inhabit undergraduate dorms. Though housing most types of pets on campus is a violation of University policy — “only fish, in tanks that do not exceed 10 gallons, can be kept in the dormitories,” according to the 2007-08 undergraduate living guide — students who defy the rules described their animal pals as a time-consuming and odiferous, yet rewarding, part of their lives.
