Student Moving Checklist

Moving as a student can be a major transition. Separating from your familiar family surroundings is both exciting and new – and a process rife with emotions. On move-in days at most colleges, you are bound to see families struggling to carry disorganized carts of belongings, a moment that is both hectic and happy for everyone. However, it always helps to be prepared, and if you make sure to double check all the essential items you need for your student housing, it can help make the moving process more efficient, and your space more concise and pleasant. I’ve assembled a list of the essential items you need in order to make packing and settling in as easy as pie.
