When a student prepares for move to college one of the key issues is cost. An average student has a limited budget with most things from study materials, books, electronic gadgets and tools etc. But, before a student steps into class one of the biggest expenses will be the move, especially if you are moving to another area. One of the first considerations is to find a place to live. Students often share in college rooms or flats. This cuts costs for many but also will generate problems. For instance sharing means limited room, so you have to make certain you get an idea on what space you have for your personnel belongings. Check out what may be missing and make a note of it so you can move prepared. You may need extra bedding or small cooking appliances if you don’t want to live on takeaways the entire duration. If you know who you are sharing with then you could discuss the situation and share with the costs of buying a microwave, kettle, sandwich, toaster or juicer etc. Cooking your own snacks will make living costs less costly than being out at convenience shops buying pre-packed food.
When you have established where you will be living at first and got an idea of what space you have for your possessions then start with planning a moving checklist of what you need to take. If you can find room in a spare room or garage and make space to place everything in the one place. Then this will help you work out what various packing supplies you will need for the removal. You can get hold of used boxes from shops and furniture stores to help move you items. After getting all of your belongings together the next though is cheap removals. Most students have support of family or friends who can loan a removal van or large car for the trip. For others it may mean getting some professional help from a removal company.
There are many options around ranging from man and van, to sharing a load with others from a reputable moving company
With the fierce removal competition most removal companies have a good choice of removal services including low cost student moves. You can hire as much help as you can afford such as additional storage, packing services and of course the removal.
Look at all of your options if you are on a limited budget. If family can help then that will be a great help, especially with the loading and transferring of the load. Moving is hard work for most people and it can be one of the first adult experiences a young person has. So it is important to look into your various choices and get the one that suits your individual needs. You can cut costs if you know others going to the same college or location. Source the internet for moving companies and student offers. If you can’t find help among friends and family then arrange meetings with several removal companies, and get free quotes first. These can advise you on the best service for you and your needs. From there you can weigh up your options of who offers the best service for the money. Look at what the company covers including insurance covers for loss, delays and damage. You may be on a time limit so if you have to hire a professional service make sure you book as early as you can if you need a specific date.
