Knowing Your Utilities
Perhaps the first and the most important thing before you even think about moving should be knowing your stuff.

Knowing the space that your items occupy helps you in planning and making a reasonable budget.
Limited Storage Units

Packing

Handling and packing your valuables should also be done in a proper way to ensure a smooth moving process.

Items Breaking and Getting Lost
As horrible as this may sound, most students either lose or damage their stuffs when moving. Surprisingly, most of these cases could easily be avoided by being keen on how the packaging and moving is done. Stacking items carelessly is to blame in many of these incidences. To be on the safer side, make sure to take your time packing your items and if need be, label and tag them to avoid misplacing them. Should you also chose to use a moving or a packing service, make sure that they are reliable and professional in handling your stuff to avoid breakages and ensure that you don’t lose any of your belongings.
Time Considerations
In some cases students find themselves moving their stuff late giving them little time to unpack and organize their stuff. One could also end up packing their things hurriedly and disorderly making them vulnerable to breakages. Failing to pack your items and ready them for moving could also mean that you will incur more costs if the moving company charges for by time. It is always recommended that you pack your stuff earlier in time and dedicate a day for the moving.
