A removal to your new student accommodations can be tough process. You will have to complete many chores so that you can safely and successfully transfer all the necessary goods from your current address to your new lodgings. This process can be tough and it can be on a short time table. There are various tasks to tackle and if they go badly, you can encounter delays, last or damaged goods and other problems. To keep your removals straightforward and ensure they go well, read on for five student moving tips.
While these are small removals, you need to do a lot of work. That is why a moving checklist is a huge benefit for the task. Having a carefully written schedule will enable you to face all these challenges with enough time, ensure you don't forget any process, that you have the necessary equipment and services and more.
You can plan when things will be done and balance them with the time you have.
The next tip is to thoroughly go through all of your goods and determine what to take with you. You won't need all of your belongings to your student accommodation and it is likely that you won't have room for everything either way. Decide what will be necessary, taking into account important items such as clothes, your computer, utensils, etc. You can take some entertainment devices, ornaments, etc, but decide carefully so you know you can transport things easily and safely, and you will easily have enough room for everything.
Having plenty of suitable packing material is the next tip. You will need to transport your goods in a way so that they are not damaged or lost. Having a large amount of a packing material, including boxes, ensures that you can keep items safe, dry and clean, as well as keep all items together. You can purchase a wide range of goods such as bubble wrap, polystyrene, issue paper and more, as well as use cloth, clothes, newspaper you have lying around. Boxes should be strong and in good condition, so they won't fall apart.
Having too little packaging will result in your spreading it across to many items, which puts them at risk or damage or being lost.
Having access to a spacious and safe vehicle is the fourth piece of advice. It may seem obvious but you must give this step careful thought. As this won't be the largest move, you may be able to use your usual car, or that of a friend or family member. This can make the step simple but if you do this, you must ensure that the goods fit inside carefully, so that nothing sticks out of windows or doors, all doors are closed fully and nothing will get in the way of the driver's movement or eyesight. You can hire a moving van for this step as it will ensure space and safety, but will be more expensive.
The last step to consider for your student removals is storage. Using a storage unit near your new accommodation will enable you to begin moving things early and prevent you from doing all the work at once. It lets you take more than you can fit into new abode but still have easy access to things. It also gives you a safe spot to place university items such as files and equipment over the holidays when you don't need it.
Your university relocation can be simple, so follow these tips carefully and you can have a successful removal.
