Answer 1

Lowe's or Home Depot often have a brochure free that will explain with pictures how to patch small dry wall holes (up to fifteen or so inches).

Answer 2

hang a painting over it

Answer 3

to to the local hardware store and ask them for a piece of scrap drywall slightly larger than the size of the hole and some drywall compound.. if the hole is jagged, use a knife to make it even. then cut the new piece of drywall  so that it fits snugly into the hole. tape it down (you can use drywall tape but it's an apartment so masking tape will work just as well), and spread the compound over it. let it dry compleatly and sand it smooth. if it is a large hole you can buy some expanding foam to fill the gap in the wall behind the hole, but do not patch the drywall until the expanding foam is hard because it may overexpand and will push the patch out.
