Hi @gracehammi

I am not sure about that university specifically, however from my experience we have not been allowed to put anything on the walls that can damage it. This includes blue tac as that can leave marks on the paint.

I used command strips / hooks and found that they did not damage my walls. If you are using them, then just make sure that you are really careful when you remove them so that they do not pull the paint of.

A lot of student accommodations will have a big pinboard in the bedroom which you can use to put pictures and posters up. You could check the pictures of the rooms on the university website to check if this applies to the accommodation that you are interested in living it.

Hope that helps!
