With these tips, you\u2019re on your way to smooth sailing:<\/p>\n
There are a few options that companies like Collegeboxes offer:<\/p>\n
Start by making a list of things you want to take home. I would recommend writing down everything you have then decide what items you want to trash, sell, or donate.\u00a0Think it through! What is your living situation like next year? Are you getting a new roommate that has the same furniture items that you do? Do you need that futon? Or can it be given to a friend or charity?\u00a0How about heavy textbooks- can those be sold or donated?\u00a0There\u2019s no need pack things you won\u2019t need!<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re prepping for move out, make sure you have an ample amount of boxes. Proper packing material is crucial- make sure to have the\u00a0right sized boxes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0protective material\u00a0<\/a>for your items, to keep your goods protected and safe from breakage.\u00a0The most common error made in packing is failing to properly protect the contents within the packing container, and this can be avoided by giving yourself an adequate amount of packing supplies.<\/p>\n Be proactive and make your\u00a0storage and\/or shipping<\/a>\u00a0reservations as soon as possible. Storage facilities in close proximity will fill up quickly. When using companies like\u00a0Collegeboxes\u00a0for shipping and storage, take advantage of booking early as dates do fill up quickly. You could also be eligible for early bird savings.

\nWhen it comes to packing start by slowly packing up non-essential items and out-of-season clothing. Planning ahead will not only secure you a storage spot, but you\u2019ll enjoy being ahead of the game when you\u2019re busy cramming for exams.<\/p>\n
