I was just about to post this. I see too many posts on various forums asking do I have to follow a particular dorm rule and people reply just hide it when they do room checks. Any fire prevention rule should be followed - no candles, no flammable material on the walls, no small appliances that are forbidden (types of coffee makers, etc.), and no tampering with smoke detectors (so you can smoke pot in your room). These rules protect you and your neighbors - follow them!
