Moving to Fordham University
Hopefully, at this point, you’re looking forward to attending Fordham Rose Hill. But before you plan out your whole new life in New York, you need to plan the move. You may be cringing at the thought, but that’s why we have Collegeboxes. This service will ship all of your items to Fordham, so there’s no stress needed. Simply pack up your boxes, and they’ll be picked up at your home and shipped to a secure climate controlled storage facility. From there, they’ll be delivered right to your room on the scheduled date! If you prefer to handle your own items, U-Haul moving trucks and trailers are great solutions. Whether you use Collegeboxes or a truck or trailer, your college move is set up for success!
