For all of you guys here who have attended seminary I'm having an issue.
I am looking at Orthodox seminaries and it appears none are pet friendly. My wife and I have two small dogs (one 15lbs, one 25lbs) and we do not want to get rid of them - we'd both feel horrible doing so.
I have looked into off-campus housing and the prices are outrageous. Given my jurisdiction, my Bishop will most likely "recommend" St. Vlad's. As you all are aware rent in New York City is not cheap. The same goes for Holy Cross in Brookline. The only reasonable off-campus housing rates are around St. Tikhon's.
So my questions are:
1) Do you know of any situations where seminarians were allowed to have small pets in on-campus married housing?
2) Would the Bishop be displeased if someone asked to go to a different seminary because of its off-campus housing affordability?
Thanks!
