To college, as in you're in college and you want to keep it at college, or as in a visit to college? That would be up to the school completely. Most schools don't allow any form of a pet and if they do you can pretty much only have a beta fish or some goldfish in a bowl.

Well i am in college but i live 10 minutes from it and i want to get him for a visit to show it to my friends its just for like 2 hours or so

It depends how stressed he might become!

I have never transported my Cham (he's too young and doesn't need the stress), so I couldn't really help you out but to say he has to stay warm. But I will say that you shouldn't stress out a cham that doesn't need to be stressed out. They are "home-bodies" and really shouldn't be moved for such a human-driven reason. I plan on only moving Commah (my cham) if I physically move my home, if their is an emergency (ie: not power or flooding), or short trips to the vet. That being said- Its up to you, if you think he could take the stress... you could try it...

Let us know what you decied to do...

I wouldn't. If you are only 10 mins away from school, I would suggest taking a trip to your place for a study group afterwards - this is, unless your cham can chill on your shoulder stress-free for a couple hours of mindless lectures BUT I DOUBT THAT!
