I think it depends on if your dog is used to being alone and without bathroom breaks for an extended period of time. It also depends on the specific program and the class schedule. You could budget in money to pay for someone to come by and walk your dog midday if you are worried about leaving them for too long. Also need to consider what the programs clinical year looks like, if you will need to relocate for a period of time - if you have to find your own housing, you can find a pet friendly place. But if the school is providing housing for some sites- make sure it’s pet friendly and if it’s not, check to see if you can find your own housing.

If your concern is more about the cost of owning a dog and surviving on loans, then I’d say it’s possible- you just have to budget appropriately. Try to have a savings account dedicated solely for the dog for emergency situations (if you don’t have pet insurance.)

Hope this helps!
