From my experience living in a college dorm, pretty much nothing sticks to cinderblock. Depending on how heavy it is, you may want to screw a bracket into the ceiling. I would hate for it to fall on you if the command strip doesn't work. If you decide to use screws, try to find a beam in the ceiling (you can knock on it and listen to where it sounds more solid to find it). Good luck.
