What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs,

blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and

format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Moving to a new state is an adventure, but when you’re moving states to a new college, it can be an exciting (and confusing) time.

Below is an interview with Three Movers, a moving service that will explore the many options you have when moving to a new dorm room and how to tackle the many problems that come with moving.

Ready to move? Let’s get started.

What to Consider When Moving States to Your New Dorm Room

1. DIY or Hire Pros?

Depending on how big your vehicle is and how many belongings you’re bringing with you, it may not make sense to hire movers at all. If your dorm room is fully furnished, then you don’t have to bring that many items with you.

However, if your dorm room is unfurnished and you plan to bring your belongings, you’ll have to rent a truck to carry your furniture. This can be awkward, especially if you are not used to driving a truck before.

Another aspect of moving to think about is the length of time required to travel. If you’re moving a lot of items coast to coast, the drive itself can be upwards of 72 hours including rest time. You’ll need to pay for hotels and food along the journey as well.

Hiring movers can alleviate a huge burden on an already stressful move. Consider the length of time traveled as well as how many items you’re bringing to factor into the equation. If you’re only moving a state away and bringing a backpack, then movers aren’t needed at all.

2. International Shipping

International shipping is a possibility when it comes to dorm moving. You can often simply put all of your belongings in one big box, and receive it at your destination. However, if you want to move your furniture, the cost will be quite high.

It’s best when moving overseas to only bring what you can. If you’re intent on shipping your furniture internationally, then movers can still help you with that. Avoid taking your belongings on the plane as the fees can often be sky-high, without any insurance for them along the way.

3. How Much to Bring With You?

How much you bring with you is a factor when moving to a new dorm. Check with your college’s policies if it’s possible to move some furniture to another dorm so you can bring your own. If you aren't allowed to remove furniture, then you won’t have to bring much with you.

If you live nearby and are going to make it home now and then, then you can even bring less with you. Consider that you can swap out your clothes when it’s starting to get warmer or hotter, so you don’t need to keep the entirety of your clothes with you. 

Bring all the supplies you’ll need for an easy school year. And don’t forget that you’re a responsible adult, so you’ll have to act accordingly and also take care of yourself, as your parents won’t be around to do so.

4. Consider Your Dorm’s Layout

If it’s possible, check out the dorm either online or in-person to get a good understanding of how you can decorate your new dorm. Remember that pictures always look bigger than in person, so if you can, make it to the school beforehand to check out the dorms.

Once you know what it looks like, then it’ll make packing much easier. You’ll have a better idea of how to approach what to bring, and what items are going to be too large to inhabit your new dorm room. 

Conclusion 

First and foremost, decide whether you want to tackle the move on your own or hire professional movers. Your choice should depend on the volume of belongings you plan to bring and the distance you need to travel. If you're moving lightly and not too far, a DIY approach may suffice, but for more substantial moves across long distances, hiring movers can alleviate the stress and logistical challenges.

If you're contemplating international shipping, be mindful of the costs, especially when it comes to moving furniture. It's often more cost-effective to bring only what's essential, and professional movers can assist you in shipping bulky items. Avoid excessive airline fees and the potential for damage by not taking your belongings on the plane.

Lastly, take the time to understand your dorm's layout either by checking it out online or in person. This will help you plan your packing more effectively and prevent you from bringing items that won't fit or suit your new living space.
