College Packing List

— getting yourself to college —

Getting Ready for the Move

 

First Thing: Get to Know the Area

You will need food, phone service, and other services that may come up. Know where to turn will be helpful once you arrive.

With the help of cell phones, online maps and tracking devices, you will be in good hands once you arrive at campus.

You will need to decide how you are going to move

  • If you are moving yourself, you probably don't have much to take. Everything should fit in your car. Or if you like, you can ship many of the items to your destination if you plan to fly or take public transporation.

  • If you are moving a family, you will likely need a truck. There are truck rentals and moving services. It all depends on how much you have and what's in your budget.

  • If you are planning a more extensive move, we invite you to visit our relocation center. It offers an extensive moving checklist that can assist you along the way. Go to: www.SayRelocate.com

Moving Truck Rentals
