Take the liners out and hang them outside of your window of your dorm somehow.

get the liner out and put some newspaper balls inside it'll absorb most of the water then you can probably take the rest of the water out the next morning with a hair dryer or something like that.

that may not be possible, what about those boot dryers, are they a bad idea?

You can buy a skiboot dryer for around 50 dollars.
Depending on the model they will dry your ski boots in around 2 hours and some even dry your gloves.
Just google for them.

my boot dryer is probably the greatest christmas present i've ever gotten. They're kinda overpriced for what they are but it's definitely worth getting. Make sure you get one with four arms and a cold and warm drying functionon it so you can dry boots and gloves. Expensive gloves and heat moldable liners wont do well with the heated drying.

I've never noticed any smell from my boots on the boot dryer.

Boot dryers are amazing, for sure worth the investment. Also, dryer sheets make the stink go away. I usually put the dyer sheets in the liner, then while I'm skiing I take them out and put them in my bag, then put them back in my boot when I'm done skiing and then use the boot dryer with the sheets in, I just change the sheets after about 10 days of skiing.
