I am in a dorm room and I am attempting to mount my projector and screen in my ceiling… As far as I can tell from just tapping the ceiling it is made of cinderblocks if that sounds right or something similarly tough.
I have absolutely no idea how to mount the projector and screen in the ceiling and would appreciate any help…
What tools would I use?
Since I don't own anything but a hammer and screw driver, would I be able to rent the tools? If so, where?

Berkeley, CA has a tool library for just this kind of rental. Major home stores have rentals, and there are chains of rental shops like Hertz Rentals.
You'll need a drill, a masonry bit, and a concrete anchor. Your local hardware store can supply the last two. Each anchor will have a specified hole size.
The ceiling is almost certainly not cinderblock. But it could be reinforced concrete, which is a good strong material to anchor to.
