You have graduated from high school and you have been accepted into the college of your dreams. So, now the only thing that you have to do is to pack your belongings and move from your parent’s house to your dorm room. 
However take note that moving isn’t as easy as you may think, so don’t rush into packing your things. Instead keep reading this article because we have listed down some very helpful tips for first time movers.
Commence your relocation preparation by deciding which of your personal belongings you will take with you and which you will leave behind. Keep in mind that dorm rooms aren’t big and you must share it with another student. So, try keeping the volume of the items that you will take with you to a minimum.
Next seek out and hire a man and van company to conduct your relocation. Don’t make the common mistake of hiring the first removal company that you find. Instead scout several companies by going through customer reviews and reading the quotes that each company will provide you. Once you have gone through enough information about the moving companies that you are considering, employ the company that has the best quality/price ratio.
Once you have moved to your dorm room and paid to the man and van company for its moving services, start arranging your belongings into your dorm room. Don’t delay the unpacking stage of your relocation, because the longer you keep your belongings into the boxes the more home sick you will feel. Or said in other words, the quicker you arrange your personal items into your new home, the quicker you will be able to acclimatize to your new life and surroundings.
However don’t assume wrongly that your relocation has ended just because you have moved your possessions from your former home to your new home. Now you must draft a plan for all your responsibilities. Yes, living alone means having more things to do. Start by determining whether you will do the groceries on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. A small piece of advice, budget wise, a monthly grocery plan is more cost effective as buying in bulk is much more inexpensive.
The last thing that you must do before you can say that you have definitely moved away from your parent’s house is to create a chore schedule and follow it to the letter. Yes, you will have to clean and maintain your dorm room on your own because your parent’s won’t be nearby to run your errands for you.
