Types of College Housing: Making an Informed Choice

Types of College Housing: Making an Informed Choice

in , , , , ,

There are many choices when it comes to college housing. While it is best to take time to visit the college and personally tour the options available, sometimes doing so is not possible, especially if you’re attending college far away from home. Regardless of what type of housing you decide on, it can be helpful to engage a full service moving company to handle the move-in and move-out processes. Let’s take a look at different housing options to consider and some of the advantages/disadvantages of each.

On-Campus Housing

Dormitories and residence halls are a popular choice, especially for first-year college students. They offer several benefits, such as affordable living costs, opportunities to meet new people, and easy access to campus amenities. However, they do have their downsides, such as strict rules and regulations, limited space, and some privacy concerns. Make sure to carefully consider all of the pros and cons of dorm living before making a decision.

Off-Campus Housing

Another popular option for college housing is off-campus apartments, homes, or shared spaces. Off-campus housing allows you to have more independence, privacy, and freedom over your living situation. It also allows you to explore different neighborhoods and choose a living situation that caters to your unique needs. You can live alone, with roommates, or find a housing situation that mirrors your personality and preferences. However, off-campus housing comes with a few downsides, such as higher rent, further commutes, and fewer on-campus amenities.

Our next article will offer some college housing tips as you embark on this new adventure.

Whether you choose to live on-campus or off-campus, your friends a 3 Guys Moving can handle the entire move from start to finish.

Location, Location, Location

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing college housing your proximity to your campus buildings and other important amenities. Your first few weeks of college will be spent discovering your university and forming connections, so it is crucial to find housing that will allow you to access all of these opportunities with ease. You may also want to look for housing close to popular hangout spots or public transportation options.

Safety and Security

Another vital factor when choosing college housing is ensuring that the location is safe and secure. Consider factors such as crime rates in the surrounding area, nearby emergency services, and campus security measures. You could also check for factors such as well-lit and well-maintained neighborhoods, secure buildings, and presence of security systems.

We are concluding our series of articles covering some ways to help your senior parents be able to better handle their upcoming move and acclimate to their new home. Our previous articles discussed the importance of helping your parents declutter and downsize and preparing their belongings to be packed, which should all happen before their local moving company arrives on the day of the move.

We also discussed gathering all essential documents in one place and developing a timeline for the move, including which day you want your full service moving company to arrive. We then touched on the importance of being there to help your parents unpack after the moving company delivers their belongings and also creating a calming environment inside of the home.

Today, we will look at more ways to help your parents acclimate to their new home.

Establish a Routine

Another way to help your parents adjust to their new home is by establishing a daily routine. This can include things like making sure they eat breakfast every morning, encouraging them to take walks around the block, and even checking in with family and friends via phone or video call. Having a set routine will help them feel more comfortable in their new surroundings.

Help Set Up Necessary Technology

If your parents are not familiar with technology, you may need to help them set up their devices and/or services in their new home. This could include selecting an internet provider and setting up Wi-Fi, showing them how to use a smart TV, and helping them download apps on their smartphone. Assisting them with getting connected can make their transition to their new home much easier.

Today, we will explore some ways you can help them adjust to their new home.

Help Them Unpack

The first order of business is to begin unpacking their belongings and putting them away. Start by setting up furniture in the bedroom and family room. This will give them a comfortable place to sit and rest and begin to get accustomed to their new surroundings. Next, unpack the essentials, including pots, pans, dishes, silverware, towels, bathroom items, and anything else that your parents are accustomed to using or accessing on a daily basis.

Create a Calming Environment

You can help your parents adjust to their new home by creating a calm and relaxing environment. This may include adding personal touches like photos and knick-knacks. You may also want to consider playing calming music or diffusing essential oils to help them relax. Once the kitchen is ready for use, consider preparing a hot, home-cooked meal to help them feel more settled.

Preparing for Your Full Service Movers and Packers to Arrive

Once you have scheduled a date and time for your full service movers and packers to arrive, there are some things you can do to prepare. First, make sure that all of your parents’ belongings are ready to be packed. It can also be helpful to create a floor plan of their new home so that the movers and packers know where to put everything. Also, be sure to designate someone to be readily available on the day of the move to help direct the movers and packers and answer any questions they may have.

Label Boxes

One way to make unpacking easier (and to avoid any mix-ups) is to label all boxes clearly and accurately. In addition to labeling each box with its contents, be sure to also include the destination room so that your movers and packers will know where to place each box at the new residence.

You should also have your parents sign any necessary legal documents in advance, such as a power of attorney or medical directive.

Develop a Timeline

Timing is everything when it comes to moving, so it’s important to plan out a timeline in advance. Decide when you want to start packing up their home, when you want your full services movers and packers to come, and when you want to arrive at the new home.

Making a move can be difficult for anyone, but it can be especially challenging for senior citizens. If you’re helping your parents move, there are numerous things you can do to make the process go more smoothly. Our next series of articles will share some tips from our full service movers and packers on how to prepare your senior citizen parents for a move. These strategies can help ease the transition and make sure that your parents are comfortable in their new home.

Help Them Declutter and Downsize

One of the best ways to make moving easier for your senior citizen parents is to declutter their home before packing. This will help them focus on only bringing the items they really need and use while making it easier to pack up and move everything. Start by going through each room with your parents and helping them sort through their belongings. Have them donate or sell anything they don’t want or need. This process can be emotional, so be patient and understanding.

Help Them Prepare to Pack

Making a packing checklist is one of the most important steps in ensuring a smooth move for your senior citizen parents. By taking inventory of all the items that need to be packed, you can help avoid lost or forgotten items. To make the packing process as efficient as possible, be sure to sort items by room and pack them accordingly. If packing yourself, be sure to have boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, packing paper, tools for furniture disassembly, etc. on hand and ready before you begin the packing process. If you hire full service movers and packers to handle the packing, they will arrive to the residence with everything needed to securely pack your parents’ belongings.

Help Them Say Goodbye and Keep in Touch

One of the hardest parts of moving for kids is saying goodbye to friends and familiar places. It can be tough for them to leave everything they know and start fresh somewhere new. If you’re moving to a new city or state, help your child say goodbye to their friends in a way that feels comfortable for them. You might throw a going away party, exchange email addresses or social media information, or send them off with letters or postcards from their new home. Staying in touch will help ease the transition and make them feel more connected to their old life while they adjust to their new one. Once you have completed the move and are settling in to your new home, encourage them to reach out and make new friends in their new community.

Keep the Same Routine

Try to keep as many routines the same as possible. This will help provide some sense of stability during a time of change. Chores, homework time, bed time, etc. should remain the same and carry over seamlessly to your new home.

Our next series of articles will discuss some specific tips to help make your next move a positive experience for your children.

Start a Conversation About the Move

Sit down with your child and talk about the upcoming move. Answer any questions they have honestly and openly. It’s important that they feel like they’re being kept in the loop throughout the process. If you’re moving far away, explain why you’re making the move and how it will benefit your family. Reassure them that even though things will be different, they’ll still be able to keep in touch with their friends and extended family members.

Make Them Part of The Process

Begin to talk about all the new things they’ll get to experience in their new home and community. If possible, take them on a tour of the new house and neighborhood so they can start to get excited about it. Allow them to pick out colors for their rooms. Making them part of the process lets them know they are heard and makes the entire experience less intimidating and more exciting.

With a little preparation and support, kids can adjust to moving and even come to see it as a positive experience! Our next article will cover more tips to help make your upcoming move easier for your children.
