If they don't accept dogs then DON'T DO IT! Why you ask? When we got our puppy, we didn't have a lot of time to train her. She was fine being home alone, but the initial process of learning how to potty train it was a failure. She's now 4 months old and still potties on the floor occassionally...which does NOT sit well with my mom (now that I moved back home). Not to mention my puppy, when left alone, sometimes got into things....it's harder I'd imagine in a dorm room because you don't really have an area to gate off. Make sure you have a crate at least...and be very patient. She's bound to do something like pee on the carpet, chew up a shoe, or keep the neighbors awake.
I'd advise against it until she's potty trained at least.
