Opening the Door in the Dormitory

I have no place in the yeshiva to light except at the door of the room in the dormitory corridor, and the Chanukah candles will be noticeable to my friends in the dormitory. Is this possible, and is it preferable?

Lechatchila, it is preferable not to light there, as it is unclear if it is considered a public domain, and on the other hand, it is not so noticeable to the dormitory residents, and often there is no possibility to light within a tefach of the door, so it may be that the mitzvah is not fulfilled. However, if you have no other place to light, you can light there and rely on the opinion that this is also considered a public domain, and include the opinion that it is sufficient for other students in the dormitory to pass by and see the publicizing of the miracle, and that it is noticeable to the room's residents in the dormitory, and it is no worse than the halacha that in the absence of another option, one can light inside his home, and in this case, inside the room for the room's residents in the dormitory. However, this is assuming that students are present in the dormitory at that time, or at least the candles remain lit until the time the students arrive at the dormitory.
