Summer Pack-It

We’ve seen the same questions come up year after year around the college transition timing, travel, storage, housing changes, and the gaps no one really explains upfront.

So we created a free College Transition Playbook to help families understand the thinking behind it all. This is not a packing list and not school-specific. It is practical guidance meant to help families feel prepared instead of reactive.

If you’d like a copy, comment PLAYBOOK or send us a message and we’ll share it with you.

Winter Haul routes are officially LIVE.
From NYC to NOLA, DMV to Detroit, we’re pulling up at your doorstep Dec 27–Jan 4 to get your scholar’s essentials back to campus before the dorms even unlock.
No oversized luggage fees.
No dragging boxes through airports.
No ‘we’ll buy it when we get there’ chaos.
If your city’s listed, you’re locked in.
If it’s not listed, text WINTER, routes open when demand pops.
January move-in doesn’t have to be a circus.
We make it smooth.

From Southern University’s halls to the global fashion stage, Trinity just made history as the only African American selected from more than 70,000 applicants in the Vogue Open Call.
Before she was breaking barriers in fashion, she was a first-year student trusting us with her move. We still remember the energy, the smile, and the joy she brought in her video testimonial, the same light the world is seeing now.
We’re grateful we got to be one tiny stop along her journey and are proud to cheer her on as she steps into her moment.
Congratulations Trinity! Keep shining and keep making history. 🖤✨

If you want to support her journey, Vogue has opened public voting for the finalists. The link is https://www.vogue.com/event/2025-vogue-open-casting-readers-choice

Crazy how fast the semester moved. One minute everyone’s unloading cars, the next we’re talking winter break and move-out plans. We went back to this moment on Spelman’s campus when families answered the legendary question: “Who cried first?” Our Woman-on-the-Street host captured the heartbeat of Spelman’s culture, and this video still hits just as hard today. Take a quick watch, enjoy the rewind, and if your student needs help getting home or storing their things for break, we’ve got you covered with long-distance transport and semester storage.
