Moving into your brand-new student accommodation is always an exciting experience. However, for some students, it can also be daunting if it hasn’t been properly planned.
At Castle Homes, we have years of experience in providing the highest standard of student accommodation in Hull. We understand the difference planning, preparation, and organisation make in ensuring your big move goes well.
With all that being said, have a look at some tips for each step of moving into your new student accommodation in Hull…
Before Moving
The first thing to do before moving is to take some time to have an in-depth look at your new accommodation, as knowing what the space is like will help you plan.
Whilst our accommodation comes with everything you need straight away, you might want to add some personal touches. Make a note of the size of your room to know what will fit and what will look best.
By researching your new area beforehand, you can get an understanding of where the best places are to shop, eat, drink, and enjoy the best that Hull has to offer. Take a look at our quick student’s guide to Hull for some inspiration.
With a clear plan for your money, you can ensure nothing will go wrong during your move. Make a list of all potential costs like moving supplies, transportation, cleaning supplies, first big shop, etc.
One of the final things to do before you start packing is to update your address. This will make sure that all important mail and information is going to the right place.
Packing
Before packing, declutter your stuff by deciding which items to keep, sell, donate, or recycle to make sure you aren’t moving anything you don’t want or need. Gather all packing supplies like boxes, tape, bubble wrap, etc., as having all supplies on hand will streamline the packing process.
Start by packing non-essential items a few weeks before the move, labelling each box with its contents. Use bubble wrap for breakables and pack heavy items in smaller boxes to make them easier to carry.
Prepare an essentials box with items you’ll need immediately and a bag for your first night with things like a phone charger, toiletries, pyjamas, and medications to ensure a relaxed first night in your new place.
Moving Day
Double-check all moving details a day before the move to ensure everything goes smoothly. Confirm the details of any transportation, and ensure you have all the keys and access codes you need. Also, make sure to have a plan for parking and loading to avoid any logistical issues.
On moving day, stay organised and supervise the loading process to ensure items are handled with care. Keep a detailed list of all boxes and other items to ensure nothing is lost. You should remember to stay hydrated and take breaks as needed, as moving in can be tiring work!
After Moving
Organise your new student accommodation with storage options like bins, shelves, and under-bed storage to maximise space. Make sure to make your space functional so it suits your daily routines.
Making friends with your neighbours can massively improve your experience in student accommodation. Introduce yourself, keep shared spaces clean and tidy, and get involved in group activities.
