I am positive you could get away with sclerotia in a dorm. All you would need is 4-8 quart jars inoculated with some ATL 7. Put them in a box with some other stuff. No one will know shit.

just so you know-possible prison time isnt the only risk, you wont be able to go back to that college, you can lose your financial aid and scholorships, and you will be explaining it to employers and such the rest of your life.
other than that, go for it!

First of all, how well do you know their room inspection protocol? Is your knowledge of it only based on word of mouth or have you experienced it first hand? If you know it inside and out, and that they won't do a more thorough check, then cool, but if not, I would wait until you have a pretty good idea of what they do when they check, and that there's no special thorough once a semester checks before proceeding.
Second, the word that's been mentioned several times already, you should really look into: SCLEROTIA. Learn it and learn it well, that would be your safest bet since there is no lighting or fruiting chamber required and minimal effort and space.
Third, please please please don't sell these things on campus. This endeavor, at this current time of your life, must be for you and your close friends only. All it takes is someone to freak the fuck out, taken to the hospital and be backed into a corner by police once their sober to spill the beans on where they got it from. That's the plus side to sclerotia, once you have them, you can bake them into all sorts of recipes as a substitute for nuts, and you're scott free, no one will be able to tell the difference.
Good luck and be safe.

Well i have been on campus two years already. The checks are bullshit, they just come in walk around and leave pretty much, thats it and they tell us when the inspection are. I mean of course if you have a big ass party or something campus police might wanna come in but im doing no such thing. Just taking percautions and i will def not be telling people i have them or be selling them.

Well, it sounds like you are going to do it anyway.
Here are some links that you may find useful.

Those two links are the stealth, automated set-up I created. Worked like a charm for both the cakes and monotub.

I think that is the thing....they are giving you a false since of security. The checks are bull until the day that they are real. Once you're caught its too late. Are you viewing this website from school, I assure you someone knows (maybe not about you specifically). At my school we are always looking through the logs, its not an invasion of privacy but simply someone's job for security reasons. They may choose to ignore it they may not. Dig around and research what has happened to people in the past, I'm guessing people have been caught before. This boils down to you making a choice and living with the consequences. If you insist on doing it the safest way would be to grow sclerotia and not tell a soul.

Just sounds too risky. Living like Anne Frank would be too stressful for my tastes. I definitely wouldn't want to have to worry about school AND the gestapo finding my secret shroom op. If you're cool with that kind of pressure, great! But personally, I'd scratch this attempt and pick it back up in a year or 2 when I owned (or at least rented) some private space.

Another option that would be a long term investment, but do-able and well worth it in terms of safety would be to attempt an outdoor grow. Similar to sclerotia, the only thing you'd have to hide would be jars, no light or fruiting chamber to worry about. Depending on your area, you could grow woodlovers, dunglovers, or maybe both. Look into the zones of each, and see which one would be your best option. Like I said though, it'd be a long term investment, and perhaps a side project to your main focus, which hopefully will be the sclerotia.

All is not lost. What have you bought so far? Lots of stuff can easily tranfer over to a sclerotia grow. Save the perlite for another day, if you fall in love with this hobby like most people do, you'll definitely be using it in the future. As for the verm, that could be used to make up cakes for sclerotia, so like I said, no losses yet.

i heave read that verm is best not used for sclerotia grow because you want to use editable ingidents. Also what am i gonna do with my cakes that are already colonizing?

Verm is only inedible if you're not comfortable ingesting tiny amount of it. It's not like you're going to be eating massive amounts. Although, I've never tried to eat verm before, so even tiny amounts may be unpleasant.
As for the jars that are already colonizing, how far along are they? It sounded like when you made this post that things were still in the planning phases.

If you have the right climate maybe you could find a place near the campus and make yourself a little mushroom patch.

12 quart jars = $11 RTV silicone = $5 10 lbs of rye (more than you would ever need) = $10 Psilocybe galindoi (ATL 7) spore syringe = $35 shipped Tyvek = Free
You are looking at spending $60-70, which will be more than enough to get you dancing the truffle shuffle.
