I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to smoke in the dorms at any campus. But it can be done.
You pretty much have to use quick lights, which is fine. I would always light them by a window, and one the sparks started flying, I would just keep blowing the smoke out the window (perhaps a fan would have been a good alternative).
After that, it really doesn't give up much smoke, so it's hard to set off the smoke detectors with a hookah.
I found that smoking outside is really annoying, because, as people said, EVERYBODY will come sit with you and expect you to share. Even if you are doing homework and you look busy, people don't care. All they want is to mooch off of the person with the hookah. So I suggest smoking inside if you find it possible.

At the campus I go to, the detectors pick up the smoke even from hookah, but what some people do is tape bags over the detector (results in a fine if you're caught). After one semester I decided to get a job and get an apartment, you can't beat privacy.
