      I can’t comment on that tape. I have no experience with it.

      I’m in New York State. So not that far off! XD

      Nice! What university?

            Ah, the king city. Nice.
            Also, it’s never the cold. Always the snow. Dear God, the snow…

              I have used ook hangers to hang 50lb. objects. Here is one rated for 75lbs.

              You can find them at lots of places locally. It will leave three tiny holes that are easy to cover up later.

                I would certainly NOT trust it to tape, and if you are not allowed to put any holes in the wall at all, then the only thing you might want to try is hanging the mirror using an over-the-door hook, something like this:

                0_1502199732610_22461740469584p.jpeg

                You should be able to find something similar, and likely more apt at a local hardware store.

                Otherwise I’d recommend just leaning it against the wall and don’t bother hanging it until you move to a permanent home.
