How Much Does College Moving Cost?

College moves are typically the most affordable type of move because of their smaller scale. Here are typical ranges:

• Dorm room move (local): $200–$450
• Studio or 1-bedroom apartment: $350–$700
• Shared apartment (your share): $250–$500
• Post-graduation move (within Oregon): $500–$1,500
• Post-graduation move (out of state): Starting at $1,500+

We offer special student-friendly pricing with a 2-hour minimum. Most dorm and small apartment moves complete in 2–3 hours.

Tips for a Smooth College Move

• Book early during move-in/move-out week – Campus move-in weekends are extremely busy. Book 3–4 weeks ahead
• Check campus loading rules – Many campuses have designated loading zones, time windows, and elevator schedules
• Declutter before you pack – Sell or donate textbooks, furniture, and clothes you no longer need
• Label everything – Especially if you have roommates. Clear labeling prevents mix-ups
• Coordinate with your RA or building manager – Know the rules for move-out cleaning, key return, and elevator access

Frequently Asked Questions About College Moving

Do you move students during campus move-in week?

Yes. We regularly handle moves during the busy August/September move-in period and June move-out week. Because demand is high, we strongly recommend booking 3–4 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time.

Can you move just a few items?

Absolutely. Our 2-hour minimum makes us ideal for small moves. Even if you only have a bed, desk, and a few boxes, our crew will get you set up quickly and affordably.

Do you offer storage for students during summer break?

Yes. We can move your belongings to our secure storage facility for the summer and deliver them back when you return in the fall. Many students find this more convenient and affordable than subletting or shipping items home.

Can my parents book the move for me?

Of course. Parents frequently book college moves for their students. We just need the move-in address, a contact number for the day of the move, and any campus-specific access instructions.

Do you handle moves between cities (e.g., Portland to Corvallis)?

Yes. Inter-city student moves are one of our most common requests. Portland to Corvallis, Salem to Eugene, Bend to Portland — we handle them all at competitive rates.
