And more silliness- "Therapy dogs and miniature horses. Coloring books. Massages. Even Fortnite tournaments. All this and more are ways in which universities across the nation are working to help students de-stress as finals unfold, hosting a plethora of interesting activities or all out De-stress Fests. One of the most common services provided come in the form of therapy dogs, specifically trained to be as calm and affectionate as possible. Campuses such as the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and Michigan State are just two out of many that recently offered the friendly puppers to pet and relax with in between study sessions. Duke University went one step further. On top of bringing in puppies, the school offered what it called a Stampede of Love miniature horses."

I think that emotional support chickens probably taste better.

As I see it, the 2 “comfort” horses are the only ones with their heads on straight.

I prefer therapy cats. They take up less space, and their crap is easier to clean up.

A person tried to bring in a “comfort chicken” to the classroom of our local college. It was clucking during class. Prof was not amused.

Let them pet the Horse, feed it some Carrots and groom it.
Then tell them the Horse’s name is Donald Trump.

Are the final exams at Northwestern anything like those fiendish, diabolical puzzles in the
Saw movies? If they aren't, the students shouldn't need therapy horses.
We didn't have therapy ANYTHING for exams when I went to college in the 1980s.
DANG!
