Planning to Move to Boston for College?

July 26, 2023 by admin

There are 35 universities and colleges in Boston. Each year, more than 156,000 students move to the area for school. If you’re going to be one of them, you’ll enjoy these tips for student moves to Boston area colleges.

Tip #1: Secure Your Living Situation Ahead of Time

Good student housing in the Boston area can be hard to find. Apartments get snapped up quickly. Don’t wait until the last minute to secure your housing. As soon as you know your future address, you’ll also want to have a good idea of how much space you’ll have for yourself and your things. This will help you determine what you need to pack for a student move.

Tip #2: Less is Really More

Student moves generally include the possessions you would typically find in a dorm room: one to two pieces of furniture, clothing and personal possessions, some electronics, some sports gear, and books. As tempting as it is to bring everything you might potentially need to Boston, this is one scenario where less really is more. Being strategic about what you choose to include in your student move to Boston can help keep your stress down and make the move more affordable.

Tip #3: Hire Student Moving Services for Boston Students Early

The best local moving company provides specializes student move services. These small moves can be completely full service – the movers show up to pack your things for you, transport them to your new address, and get you set up in your new place – or you can choose a simple student move where you pack and unpack your own things. If you’re not sure where you’re going to keep everything, secure student storage in Boston is available. These units can be accessed 24/7 and are ideal as an off-site closet for small student housing situations.

"In August, my 83-year-old father fell down the cellar stairs and broke his elbow. Following elbow replacement surgery in Boston he was transferred to skilled nursing care in West Bridgewater. Unfortunately, the injury left him unable to maintain his own household. My husband and I made the decision to move him to our home in California. My time frame was incredibly short - 11 days till departure via airplane to CA. I needed to pack and ship whatever items would be going to CA. We would not be moving the entire household - just several paintings, memorabilia, clothing and a large full keyboard electronic piano. After calling several moving companies that required large weight minimums to bid the job, I was referred to Joe Fell at Boston Pack and Ship.

Joe was absolutely wonderful. He calmly explained the shipping options available through Boston Pack and Ship and they could definitely handle the job. Joe helped me locate appropriately sized shipping boxes so that I could pack things up myself, thereby saving money. He also stayed in constant contact with me via phone and email, coaching me through the shipping process. We scheduled pickup nine days after my arrival in MA. Joe became an instant friend to me throughout this extremely stressful time. His caring nature made this difficult move a great deal easier. I am very grateful to have found this wonderful company. "
