]]>Start Early
The key to a stress-free move is to start preparing well in advance. About a month before you plan to move out, begin sorting your belongings to determine what you’ll take with you, what can be donated, and what should be thrown away. This not only simplifies the packing process but also reduces the load.
Use Smart Packing Strategies
Packing efficiently can save you significant time and effort. Label all your boxes on multiple sides with the contents. Also, use soft belongings such as towels to protect fragile items. This method saves on packing materials and reduces the number of boxes you’ll need since you’re consolidating items together.

The logistics of moving out of a dorm are often complicated by the simultaneous exodus of many other students. So check if you need to schedule a specific move-out time slot with your dorm’s administration. This is usually done to facilitate access to elevators and loading areas, making your move smoother.

]]>Bulky Bedding
Even if your accommodation doesn’t offer sheets, blankets, and pillows, it’s a better idea to buy them once you get there instead of having them take up half of your suitcase.
Textbooks & School Supplies
Another thing that’s best purchased when you reach your destination? Textbooks and school supplies. Your professors will tell you which textbooks you need for your class and all the stationery you need will be available at pretty much every bookstore.
Storage & Decoration
If you want to decorate your room/apartment and give it some personality, you’ll easily find all the decorations you need once you’re there, instead of wasting precious space in your suitcase.
Pricey Things
If there are any expensive items that you wouldn’t want to have stolen, lost, or forgotten during your trip abroad, it’s a good idea to just leave them at home.
Tons of Clothes
You’ll find a lot of cute clothes to buy while studying abroad so there’s no need to take the content of your entire closet.

]]>Unnecessary Shoes
You’ll realistically need between five and 10 pairs of shoes during your time in college. Uncomfortable formal shoes and high heels are usually best left at home because you’ll rarely need them.
Formalwear
Overly formal attire is also best left at home, and a single suit or a fancy gown is usually more than enough since you’ll only need it for interviews and special occasions.
Neglected Clothes
Before putting a certain item in your college suitcase, try to remember the last time you wore it. If you realize that you haven’t worn a certain item in years, consider leaving it at home, since it’s highly unlikely you’ll suddenly start wearing it in college.
Party Wear
College and parting go hand in hand but try to limit the number of party dresses that you’re going to bring along because you can easily re-wear them.
Out-Of-Season Clothes
If you’re planning to go home during the college year, don’t pack too many out-of-season items. They’ll just be taking up space and you can easily have them shipped or bring them with you next time.
