What is the most vivid picture that comes to mind when you consider moving? For most people, they envision a difficult time while for others, they see a challenging process. Despite this, folks in America move consistently every year with over 40 million folks relocating annually. People move for different reasons, with the people who move the most being renters more than homeowners. Furthermore, the age group within which most people tend to move is between 18-35 years. This covers students as well who are looking to join or leave a university like SUNY Cobbleskill. As you prepare for what might be your first adult move this year, we can assure you that it does not have to be challenging or even daunting. Judging from our experience spanning over twenty years moving students just like you in and all over New York with great success, your move can be stress-free.
How to have a seamless student move
In order to enjoy a stress-free and seamless move to or from university dorms, here are some tips to get you started on the right track.
- Put essentials in a clear plastic bin: There are some items that you are bound to need as soon as you land in your new home. These could include phone chargers, paper towels and toilet paper and even instant noodles. By packing these in a clear bin, they will be conspicuous and you wont have to go through dozens of boxes to find what you need.
- Pack an overnight bag: Your first night in your new apartment or dorm room will find you exhausted and without the willpower to dig through boxes to find a toothbrush or clean underwear. Therefore, you should pack a small overnight bag that could contain a change of clothes, toothpaste and toothbrushes, and basically your daily toiletries.
- Create a valuables only box: Keep aside a small box which should hold your valuable jewellery, documents and any other small memorabilia that you cherish. Keep this box within your sight at all times and also ensure that you dont pile it together with the rest of your moving boxes.
