Moving Process
Chicago is a college town wearing a big-city coat — DePaul, Loyola, UIC, Northwestern, UChicago, Columbia, and more. Every August and June, thousands of student households move at once, and dorm elevators become the most contested real estate in the city. We've run student moves for decades and know the rhythm: book early, load fast, follow the campus rules.
Dorm and Campus Moves
Campus housing has rules — check-in windows, freight elevator schedules, parking zones for trucks. We coordinate with the housing office requirements so the move happens inside the lines, in one trip.
Student Apartment Moves
Most student moves are apartment-to-apartment hops in Lincoln Park, Rogers Park, Hyde Park, and Evanston. These are quick, small-load moves — often mini moves starting around $407 — and we can fit them in around finals schedules and lease turnover dates.
Parent-Coordinated Moves
Half our student-move calls come from parents in another state. We're built for that: clear written quotes, updates by text or phone, and a crew that shows up when it said it would.
