First-Time College Mover? Follow These Tips
July 22, 2019
Are you moving to college for the first time? Our Penske summer interns and moving experts share their tips on how to survive college move-in day.
Advice From Our Interns
Penske corporate intern Gabrielle Fulop, a junior at La Salle University, Philadelphia, offers this packing advice: “Do not pack your whole closet, because you will wear the same few outfits every week. Keep everything organized – it will make unpacking easier."
Intern Fatima Odebisi, a senior at Penn State, State College, Pennsylvania, and a resident assistant on campus, says her biggest advice to a new student is knowing the type of dorm you have.
“For example, a traditional dorm does not have air conditioning, so a fan will be a necessity – whereas a renovated dorm most likely will have air conditioning, so a fan might not be needed," Odebisi said.

Final Moving Thoughts
Penske intern Bobby Kemp, a junior at Penn State, shares an important point about move-in day and leaving for college.
“This moving experience taught me to embrace change rather than run from it, because whether you like the change or not, it is always an experience that you can use to become a better version of yourself," Kemp said.
