Professional Student Movers

Moving in or out of college comes with its own set of headaches — tight move-in windows, walk-up apartments with no elevator, lease turnovers that happen on the same day as everyone else’s, and parents trying to coordinate from another state. Whether you’re a freshman moving into your first dorm or a grad student relocating to a new city for work, our student movers make the process fast, affordable, and stress-free.

Poseidon Moving handles student moves of every type — dorms, off-campus apartments, shared houses, and studio units near campus. We work around your school’s schedule, coordinate building logistics, and get you settled in quickly so you can focus on what you’re actually there for. We serve local student moves and long distance relocations for out-of-state students.

Hourly pricing for local moves. Flat-rate pricing for interstate moves. No hidden fees on either. Use our moving cost calculator to see what your student move would cost.

WHY CHOOSE US

Why Students Choose Poseidon Moving

Student moves are fast, budget-sensitive, and often happen on the worst possible day (looking at you, September 1st). Our crews handle hundreds of student moves every year and know exactly how to navigate the chaos — tight timelines, building rules, walk-ups, and all.

Dorm & Campus Move-Ins
Dorm moves have strict rules — assigned time slots, limited elevator access, parking restrictions, and sometimes floor-by-floor schedules. We work within your school’s move-in window and get everything from the truck to your room as quickly as possible. For off-campus apartments near campus, we coordinate with building management on COI, elevator reservations, and parking just like any other apartment move.

September 1st & Lease Turnovers
In cities like Boston, roughly 70% of leases turn over on September 1st. The streets are packed, double-parking is a nightmare, and every mover in the city is booked. We’ve been doing Sept 1st moves for over a decade — we know the neighborhoods, the building rules, and how to get it done when the entire city is moving at once. Book early: 6 to 8 weeks ahead is ideal for peak dates.

Summer Storage for Students
Heading home for the summer but don’t want to ship your furniture and belongings back and forth? We offer pickup, secure storage, and fall delivery — pick up at the end of spring semester, hold everything over the summer, and deliver to your new place in August or September. It’s cheaper and easier than shipping home and back, and your stuff stays protected the entire time.

Out-of-State & Long Distance Student Moves
Moving to college from another state? Graduating and relocating for your first job? Our cross country movers handle the full process — packing, loading, transport, and delivery — with flat-rate pricing and no hidden fees. Parents can coordinate the move remotely through our account management system, so you don’t have to be there for every step.

HOW IT WORKS

How Student Moving Works with Poseidon

Our moving process is built to fit the student timeline:

1.Book Early — Tell us your move date, what you’re bringing, and where you’re going. Share your school’s move-in rules or building requirements if you have them. For peak dates (Sept 1st, end of May), book 6 to 8 weeks ahead. Check our moving checklist for a full planning timeline.
2.Packing & Prep — Pack your own boxes to save money, or add our packing service if you want us to handle it. We’ll wrap all furniture, protect floors and walls, and disassemble beds, desks, and shelving for safe transport.
3.Moving Day — Our crew arrives on time, loads everything, and transports it to your new place. For walk-ups, we carry everything up the stairs. For buildings with elevators, we coordinate access. Your valuation coverage protects your belongings from pickup to delivery.
4.Unload & Set Up — At your new apartment or dorm, we unload, unwrap, reassemble furniture, and place everything where you want it. Quick walkthrough, clean up, and you’re done — ready to settle in.

QUESTIONS

Student Moving Questions Answered

As early as possible — ideally 6 to 8 weeks ahead. September 1st is the busiest moving day of the year in cities like Boston, where the majority of leases turn over on the same date. Crews fill up fast, especially in neighborhoods like Allston, Brighton, Fenway, and Mission Hill. If you wait until mid-August, availability is extremely limited and prices are higher.
Yes, but dorm moves have specific rules — assigned move-in windows, elevator reservations, limited parking, and sometimes floor restrictions on when movers can operate. Share your school’s move-in details during your consultation and we’ll plan around them. For off-campus apartments near campus, we handle the building logistics the same as any apartment move — COI, elevator coordination, and all.
Yes. We pick up your belongings at the end of the school year, hold them in secure storage over the summer, and deliver them to your new place in the fall. This is one of the most popular services for students who don’t want to ship everything home and back. You can store as much or as little as you need — from a few boxes to an entire apartment’s worth of furniture.

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

  • Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
  • Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
  • Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
  • Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

  • Mounted TVs
  • Artwork and mirrors
  • Shelving
  • Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

  • Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
  • Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

  • Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
  • Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
  • Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
