Hanging a wall flag in dorm room?

I read that blu/white tac is prohibited but would adhesive wall hooks be permitted? I'd like to hang a wall flag and maybe fairy lights up but not sure if that would be allowed.
Will probably be staying in Langwith or Goodricke if it varies from college to college.

Each room in halls has at least on big noticeboard on the wall where you can use thumb tacks and pins to pin things up. You're not allowed to use anything else on the noticeboards - pins only - and you can only decorate on these boards, nothing on the walls or ceilings etc. You can have a look on the college's pages on the website and there's views of the rooms in each college so you can see what the noticeboards are like but I'm in Goodricke and have friends in Langwith and no one has even come close to filling their noticeboard yet. Mine above my bed has an A3 whiteboard, 2 A4 framed pictures, some A5 printed photos, pinned tickets, birthday cards, and various other items and I haven't filled half of it. I also have one above my desk and behind my door so there's plenty of space.

In terms of fairy lights, you can only have battery-operated ones but a lot of my friends and flatmates have them on their noticeboard so it's not a rare occurence. So long as it's battery-operated, you can pin it to your board or hang it over something (again so long as it's not attached to anything other than the noticeboard).
