Giant, does your dorm allow mini-refrigerators? Eight weeks in one would give your tree a chance of staying healthy.

Alternatively, can you take it home and let it overwinter outdoors there? You might not get to see it frequently, but it would survive.

If you can't arrange a cold period for it, your best option is to sell it to someone who can overwinter it outdoors, and get yourself another tree that doesn't need a regular cold period. That means a tropical: several species of Ficus are good for the purpose.

Best of luck. Keep brainstorming!
