I have a feeling the smell has something to do with your bacteria bloom. The water changes will help a lot and once the water gets clear and stays that way there shouldn't be much of a smell. Just hope the smell is from the tank and not just the way the dorm room smells, lol! I've had some rough dorms in the past. Although you're lucky being able to keep a 10 gal, I was limited to one gallon! I cheated a little with a 1.5 gallon, haha.
