Depends. Are you talking about nail or foot sized holes?

Here's where to start

Far more descriptive than any of us can be in a text only forum.

The size of the holes changes how to tackle the problem.

How big are they?

Stevie, I'm not out of work, I'm doing my job. I would be out of work, if
it weren't for imbeciles like you.

Next time, attempt to put together a sentence, which makes sense.

back in college, we used to fix nail holes with toothpaste... try to
find a color that matches the walls (we got lucky, always white).

They always scare you with the "we'll hold your security deposit if
there is any undocumented alteration or damage to your
apartment/dorm"... they really don't care about nail holes, because
they usually claim that you staind the rug or that you scraped a
countertop anyhow.

The "deposit" is a joke at most colleges, btw... they're gonna keep the
whole damn thing no matter what. The washing machine broke down on
the 5th floor of a friends dorm back in the day, they just decided to
pay for a new one by keeping $10 from everyone's deposit when they
moved out for the summer. it was actually listed as "Laundry equipment
replacement"

No, i am at work, where there is a firewall, actually....... so I can
not get to almost all websites. I thought if I asked on here, someone
might have a response..... thank you.... For some reason I can get to
gmail, but nothing else.

Lets just say, someone punched about 8 holes in one area..... so fist
size holes, exactly.....

They firewall just about everything, ehe? I Hate it when that happens.

Maybe you should punch about 8 fist sized holes in the firewall, then
you could google "firewall patching".

Oh, snaps.

imho,

If they are about the same area, might want to just cut out one big
area, say square shape, and patch. Cut fresh sheet of drywall about
the size of the new single hole, secure to studs, tape and mud.

Now if they are all seperate, and unable to consolidated, get some
mesh tape, and mud squishing good amount of mud through the tape.
Assuming fist size is only 4x3 in size.

mudding means mud, sand, mud, sand, mud and sand. the paint. :D

These are just guesses, since not actually there.
