Summer Storage Options and University Housing Move-Out
University Housing offers limited storage space for students who will be returning to residence halls in the fall. These students should talk with their House Fellows, who can help make arrangements for storage with building supervisors, space permitting.
Taking some things home early will help your move-out go more smoothly.
There is another option for summer storage or for shipping: University Housing has established a connection with Lazybones, Inc., a company that specializes in summer storage, moving, and shipping. Students who are returning to University Housing in fall can have Lazybones store their possessions over the summer and deliver them into their new rooms in the fall. This will make move-in easy; once they arrive back on campus, students will just need to unpack. Students who are not returning to University Housing can have Lazybones pick up their boxes and ship them to a specific destination. To use the Lazybones service, students will need to place an order online for a pick-up appointment. For more information and to sign up visit the Lazybones Web site.
Remember that students must vacate their rooms within 24 hours of their last final, and may not stay later than 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 16. University Housing highly recommends that students move their belongings out before May 15, as this is the first day of commencement and traffic will be heavy. If your student is planning a trip home soon, or if family members are coming to visit, encourage your student to pack up items that are no longer needed, making the move-out process at the end of the semester easier. Also, FedEx or UPS can provide door-to-door service, and items can be shipped to a home address. For more details about University Housing move-out, visit the University Housing Web site.
