Planning a College Move-Out
When it comes time to leave your college dorm, moving out can be almost as stressful as moving in was. Whether you’re relocating to an apartment or the end of the school year has come, you’ll benefit from following these college move-out ideas to help you.
Contact your residential adviser This is important, as your dorm could have stringent rules about the type of notice you are required to give before moving out. You’ll likely need a move-out inspection as well, so now is a good time to schedule one.
Remove items from walls Tape, nails, wallpaper, putty or anything else that is attached to the walls must go before your final inspection. Be sure to scrub off any sticky residue and patch up any nail holes before that time comes as well.
Inspect for broken items Check the room thoroughly for things that need to be repaired due to your own negligence so that you can fix them if possible. If you’re unable to make repairs yourself, consider asking a friend to help you or hiring a professional to take care of it instead.
Clean Every surface of your dorm room should be thoroughly cleaned from floor to ceiling. Wipe down walls, cabinets, baseboards and the inside of closets thoroughly before you depart. Dust all furniture and vacuum the floor, you may want to rent a carpet cleaner if your floor is especially dirty.
Pack Plan to start packing early, as chances are you may have accumulated quite a bit of stuff since you first moved in. In fact, you could just have more stuff than what you can reasonably haul in the trunk of your car, which is why you can always contact us to help you with any move big or small.
