If your walls are off white - use spakling compound and your finger to fill these holes.

The best thing to use is light weight spackle, which is available from Home Depot and Lowe's. Force some into the hole with a putty knife, then carefully wipe off the excess with a damp sponge until it is even with the wall. Even though you are not supposed to paint your room, the property manager may have it painted before the next student moves in. Don't use toothpaste, as it will make problems for someone else in the future.

Get a tube of cheap toothpaste (make sure it's the same color as the walls of your dorm room) and fill the holes with that. Just glob it on, then let it dry overnight and brush or gently sand off the extra. Your wall will look good as new.

if you are trying to make them unnoticable,you may want to buy a tube of caulking that is the same color of your walls.caulking comes in a variety of colors and shades so finding one to match should not be a problem.if the walls are white you can use a small container of joint compound.use a small putty knife and fill the holes.with both products a wet cloth to wipe off any excess will be very handy.good luck.happy holidays.

stucco or spackling i think its called, but if not go to home depot and ask for wall putty to fill in holes in the wall...you just smear it on and wipe off with a scraper and wait for it to dry...
