I can't use the 3m hooks because there isn't a ledge for the hook to sit on, velcro isn't heavy enough, and i can't use glue because I'll owe my school if I tear of paint!!! Does anyone have a creative idea on how I can make my dry erase board stay up on the wall?!

Okay, this is creative, but I did it to make a bookshelf in the dorms at Ohio State. Take a pair of 2x2's and cut them a little shorter then the distance from the floor to the ceiling (we had concrete ceilings, don't do this with a drop ceiling). then drilled a hole in the end of each board and put a nut in it. I forgot what the nuts are called, but they go into wood and bite into it. Then I screwed bolts into the ends, and put them up against the wall and unscrewed the bolts until they were pushing against the ceiling. This made them real stable. I think we had two crossbars and then the shelf between them, but it's been a bit. Anyway, you can then hang your whiteboard from that. If you paint them black it will look pretty cool.

you can have it stay on top of something like a drawer or find a way to hang it from the ceiling...honestly, I am not sure! I would just drill in two hooks and let the white board sit on it. Good luck!

you additionally can use "RTV", its a silicone used for gasket textile that dries rubberly. place some on the back of whiteboard in 4 to 6 locations. based on the dimensions of the board, small boards each and each corner, greater advantageous boards greater locations. carry board against wall and wait a couple of minutes for it to stick. Wait 20 min in the past employing whiteboard. once you eliminate board gently pull from wall one corner at a time. The :RTV" could be bumped off by rolling it off the wall inclusive of your palms.

how about suction cups? or suspend it from the ceiling with hooks and wire if you have a lift up tile ceiling.... or try buying a portable isle and sit the board on it...
