OK, let's get more practical guys... I doubt he's going to be able to make a ton of changes. There's ResLife to deal with, FireCode, RAs, and the simple fact of not being there that long.
Somes suggestions...
1. Find the things that make noise in your room. Do you have a fridge? AC? Dehumidifier? Loud lamp? Roommate? Rattling nuts and bolts? Identify the problems and then make sure they're turned off and/or unplugged when you need to record. If you get noise from outside, try hanging your blanket over the window or ventilation when you need to record.
2. Find the quietest spot in the room. If you can't treat a room much, try and FIND a "magical spot" instead of MAKING one.
3. Find the quietest time. If people are running around your hall every night from 9PM - 1AM, that would leek into your recording.
I recently made a recording in an untreated room. I unplugged the fridge and turned off the AC. No one was around, so I didn't have people noise to deal with. I was nearing the end of the recording, and I realized I had left my watch on my wrist! It seeped into the guitar recording. Oh well.
