<p>I am in Umrath in the fall and I was wondering what the walls are like? Are they cinder block or drywall? How would I hang a corkboard type thing?</p>
<p>Not sure about the wals, but each room has a small padded area on the walls (not sure what to call it) where you are allowed to use push pins. Otherwise, in the rest of the room you are only allowed to use tape…you will get fined big time if you use nails. I’d recommend leaving the corkboard thing at home.</p>
<p>I have a half corkboard, half whiteboard that I like. But as marcdvl says, you cannot hang it on the walls.</p>
<p>Instead, when I was living in the dorms I rested it against the wall on my desk. The pushpin boards they have in the room completely replace the need for a corkboard though.</p>
<p>3M makes these magic hook things that you can stick to the wall, and take off very easily at the end of the year. DO NOT BUY OFFBRAND though, because they will peel off paint with them, defeating the purpose. You’ll see the 3M ones all over, from Bed Bath & Beyond and Target to the bookstore and Bear Necessities.</p>

<p>I didn’t know about this/haven’t seen it in most of the dorm pictures I’ve looked at. Does Dardick have these “built in bulletin boards” also? I hope so!</p>
<p>Yes, all dorms have it.</p>
<p>Edit: As far as I know. Still pretty sure though</p>
<p>I know for sure that Dardick has them.</p>
<p>Great, thanks for the heads up!</p>
