College Moving

When students transition to college, the decision on whether to settle in a dorm room or an off-campus apartment significantly impacts the moving process. Our movers are trained to assist with both scenarios, delicately handling each student’s belongings. In Houston, the vibrant college scene demands a moving company that understands the local nuances. That’s where Better Life Moving excels. Our services are designed not just with efficiency in mind but with a personal touch, recognizing that each student’s move to college is a unique journey.

If you already know the address of the dorm room or apartment, do not be lazy to plot routes from there to key points — the university, train stations, hospitals. Pay attention to the infrastructure nearby. Knowing where the nearest convenience store or pharmacy is will be helpful.

Cost is a constant consideration for students and parents preparing for college. Our company prides itself on transparent pricing, ensuring that the cost of moving doesn’t overshadow the excitement of college life. From the moment students decide to entrust us with their move to the instant we meticulously arrange their belongings in their new dorm room or apartment, our mover team is committed to easing the transition.

Partnering with our company, which is deeply embedded in Houston and keenly aware of the challenges and triumphs of moving to college in Texas (TX), makes a difference. Our service is more than just relocated; it’s about setting up a student for success from day one. With us, students can embark on their college adventure with confidence, knowing their move is in capable hands.

If you are moving into a dorm room or an apartment with neighbors, try to define your responsibilities in the first couple of days. Before that, try not to do general cleaning or repairs. Agree on the order in which you will wash the floors and throw out the garbage, whether it is possible to bring guests and use the neighbor’s printer. It is better to write down what happened and hang it in a prominent place. Do not relax yourself and do not let the neighbors sit on your neck, even if you hate dirt, and you are tempted to carry out an extraordinary cleaning not only at yourself, but also at a roommate. No one will appreciate it, and you will waste time and effort on meaningless work.

A few everyday tips on finance and everyday life:

Finance is the most important aspect of adult life. If your parents managed the family budget before, now you will have to do it alone. You can read popular literature about budget management, but real skills will appear only in practice.

1. Therefore, keep a budget. You won’t be able to keep a budget right away, but this habit will come in handy in the future, even after graduation.

2. Do not lend money and do not borrow, especially large amounts. Some people think that this strengthens friendly relations in the team, but in fact it destroys human relations, especially if there is nothing to repay debts from each side.

3. Try not to maintain bad habits. It takes an unjustifiably large amount of money to smoke and drink.

4. Salt, sugar and toilet paper run out suddenly and simultaneously. Look for starter kits of products and household chemicals on the Internet and purchase everything you need immediately after moving.

5. Regulate the use of the same salt and sugar with the neighbors, so as not to find yourself in a situation that only you buy, but the entire floor uses.

6. Before moving, ask your parents to teach you how to cook, if you don’t know how yet. Homemade food is much healthier for the stomach and will save money.

7. Keep your own and the surrounding space clean. Set aside time for washing and cleaning once a week. Firstly, cleanliness disciplines, and secondly, practice shows that teachers and the opposite sex treat people with clean hair and clothes without traces of a week’s wear better.

8. Do not do someone else’s work if you are not asked, and if you are asked, demand something in return. It sounds rude, but this way you won’t be considered a person you can ride. A healthy team is built on the principle of mutual equivalent exchange, so if you were asked for a glass of cereal, then you have the right to ask for a couple of potatoes for soup next time. Do not be petty, but do not try to win the favor of others by giving them your things for free.

9. Buy a printer, you can share it with your roommates.

10. Make friends with undergraduates. This will help you get access to lectures, educational materials and useful information about how teachers at the faculty take tests and exams. It is cheaper to buy a textbook by hand than in a store. It is very useful to know who does not tolerate absenteeism and tardiness, and who prefers that students speak at seminars.
