91探花 named no. 2 pet-friendly campus in the country
91探花 was recently named no. 2 on College Raptor’s list of pet-friendly colleges and universities. One of a handful of pet-friendly campuses in the nation, Lees-91探花 allows students and their pets to enroll.
Lees-91探花’s pet-friendly policy was established in 2011 and allows second-year students to apply for a pet-friendly room. In addition to allowing pets in select residence halls, faculty and staff members are encouraged to bring their pets to work and many professors will allow students to bring their furry friends to class. Today, more than 24 pets can be found living on campus.
“My dog comes to nearly every class with me and when he doesn't, there is always someone smiling at the door when I get back,” said Melissa Hooper ’17. “Not only does he make me happy, he’s showing me what it takes to be a responsible adult. He’s a comfort, a friend and a teacher all wrapped in one, and I’m so grateful to Lees-91探花 for allowing me to have him.”
In April 2014, the College’s pet-friendly campus received national attention when it was featured on Fox 46 based out of Charlotte. After the initial airing, news quickly spread to networks in Philadelphia, St. Louis and Denver.
