U-Haul offers a wide array of trucks and supplies for moving, from trailers that barely handle
a one-bedroom apartment to multi-ton trucks that accommodate the bulk of an entire house.
SHIPPING
Among popular options for dealing
with property over the summer are
storage and forms of shipment
BY NICHOLAS MANDELBERG
DAILY EMERALD FREELANCE REPORTER
s the last of the rainy season wanes into
the bloom of spring, the time has almost
X JLcome to sell textbooks, wrap knick
knacks in paper and prepare for the summer
months. But before the long days of sun bathing
by the pool and musing over barbecues com
mence, students need to address how they
want to move personal belongings.
There are several options ranging from
storing items in facilities to shipping them
home, but the battle is in finding the most
cost-efficient plan.
“Last year, my father drove from Portland
with a rental truck and then drove my stuff
back home, but I think it’s cheaper to find some
place to store it here in town ’til next year,”
sophomore Nikki Smith said.
Many rental apartments and houses run on the
same schedule as the University but allow stu
dents the option to move in during the summer.
This can require paying rent months in advance if
students go home for the summer, but it leaves
the option of having the safety and space for stor
ing their belongings until fall.
Storage facilities are a cheaper alternative,
ranging from monthly payments of $30 to $40
for 25 square feet to $120 for 200 square feet.
Students can also move their belongings
home for the summer. Rental truck companies
offer assorted vehicle sizes for a one-way move.
“It seems ludicrous to put all the time,
money and effort into moving your stuff back
home when you’re going to have to bring it
right back again a couple of months down the
road,” said Nicholas Van Zante, a student at
Lane Community College.
The price of moving north to Portland or
south to Ashland is between $70 and $120 de
pending on the vehicle, whereas moving to
Bend or to the coast can run students as much
as $500. For out-of-state students, the Mid
west or East Coast could
run as much as $2,000 for a
one-way move. A word to
the wise for students who
choose to rent a vehicle:
Remember to book a vehi
cle in advance to ensure
there will be one available on the proposed
moving date.
Another option is shipping items home.
Many shipping companies will ship items in
bulk; however; that can add up to as much as
$600 for as little as five 30-pound boxes. At four
cubic feet per box, this may not afford sufficient
room for students’ personal effects.
With all the choices for what to do with their
stuff, it’s easy for students to find a
solution. But they often end up spending more
money than necessary. Whatever students decide
to do to make the transition from this year to the
next, they should seek the safest and most afford
able way to transport their belongings.
