Tips for Students Moving to Accommodation
If you are moving into your first student place, then you are probably finding yourself excited and nervous at the same time. This is completely understandable. Moving away for the first time is very daunting indeed. If you are going to be moving soon, then it is important that you make things as easy as possible on yourself. This means that you will need to come up with a bit of a moving checklist. This is going to help you massively. Here are a few of the things that you should be including in your list.
Only take what you really need – One of the things that should definitely be included in your moving checklist is that you should absolutely only take what you really need to take with you. One mistake that a lot of people will make is thinking that they should take everything but the kitchen sink. This is definitely not a good idea. Write a list of the essentials. You should only need to take these things with you. This is going to make the move a lot easier on you.
Use a removal company if you have furniture to take – Although this is not the case all of the time, there are a lot of student houses that don’t actually come with furniture already in them. If this is the case for you, then you will probably have some furniture that you are going to need to take with you. Rather than trying to fit everything into a car, it is a much better idea to hire a man and van to move the furniture for you. This will allow you to move everything that you need to move within one trip.
De-clutter before you move into your new property – When it comes to moving into student accommodation, one of the things that you will definitely want to do is to have a clear out before you move. The last thing that you want is to take clutter with you to your new place. Anything that you don’t want and cannot use can be thrown out. Anything that you don’t want that other people might be able to make use of can be taken to charity. By having a clear out, you will find that you actually have a lot less to take with you.
Clean the new place before you move in – Although the new place should be clean and tidy before you move in, this is unfortunately not always the case. This is why it is a good idea to have a proper look around before you actually move in. By doing this, you can see if there is anything that you want to clean before you move in. You don’t want to be trying to clean around a load of boxes when you move in.
These are just a few of the tips that you can use, there are plenty of other things that you can do as well. Although moving into a new property, especially if it is your first, can be very daunting, you will probably find that you feel much better about it once you have all of your home comforts in your new place. It can take quite some time to get your place looking and feeling like home, but as long as you make sure that the moving process is as smooth as possible, then you should have no problem in making sure that everything goes the way that you want it to.
