You can rent a steamer made just for removing wall paper. You run the steamer over the area you are working on and use a scraper to gently remove the paper from that area.
There are other methods, but this honestly is the quickest and easiest way.
Emily...You need to purchase items from Lowe's, Ace or Home Depot, etc. You will need a scoring tool to make holes in the paper, a spray bottle to soak the paper (can purchase a spray with will penetrate the holes and release the glue), a putty knife to scrape the paper off. If glue remains you need to wash with hot water and a few drops of Dawn or what you have. Use a sponge an clean good removing all the glue then wipe dry or wait until dry to begin paint, etc.
If you can't get to the backing, you may need to score the paper with a tool. Paper Tiger is easy to find. Light pressure because you don't want to damage the wall behind the paper.
Mix 50/50 fabric softener & warm water in a spray bottle or garden sprayer. I've read that vinegar is as effective but I have never used it.
Allow the mixture to sit for 5 - 10 minutes so that it saturates the adhesive on the paper backing.
Scrape with a plastic scraper.
Once it is all removed, wash the walls with warm soapy water (blue Dawn is my go-to) and a microfiber cloth.

Peel as much as possible from the walls.
