At College Movers, we’re pleased to share the success story of a recent project that has left us feeling accomplished and incredibly grateful. This past week, we had the privilege of assisting 200 University of Utah students in moving into their new apartments at Ivory University House. The experience was both exhilarating and rewarding, and we’re excited to give you an inside look at how everything came together.
A Monumental Task: Moving 200 Students
Moving into a new apartment can be stressful, especially for college students starting a new chapter in life! When the Ivory Community House approached us with the challenge of relocating 200 students, we knew we could be there ready to help. The plan was to have our college student movers in easily identifiable white shirts to help smoothen the transition from car to apartment for each new student resident. The team from Ivory booked 10 of our movers for an all-day project, and these strong movers showed up at 8 am and worked until 5 pm! Working hand in hand with the team of Ivory Community, the job was done, and students were happy!
A Sense of Accomplishment
As the project concluded, we felt a profound sense of accomplishment. Successfully managing the relocation of 200 students was no small feat, and the positive feedback from the students and the University of Utah was immensely rewarding. It reaffirmed our commitment to college students being those in the community who can provide exceptional moving services, no matter the scale of the task.
Looking Ahead
We’re excited about the future and the opportunities to support students and communities in their journeys! Booking ten movers from College Movers was as simple as booking on our website. Simply book for the hours needed and provide simple instructions beforehand so our guys are ready to help!
Thank you to Ivory Community Housing for entrusting us with this important task and to our incredible team for their hard work and dedication. We look forward to more successful moves and happy clients in the future!

Quick answer: student move-in help
Student move-in days go smoother when parking, elevators, boxes, and heavy furniture are planned before crews arrive.
- Best fit: dorm move-ins, apartment move-ins, parents helping students, and campus housing transitions.
- What you handle: the truck, trailer, POD, storage unit, building access, parking details, and anything you want packed before the crew arrives.
- What College Movers handles: the lifting, loading, unloading, carrying, and heavy-item work that makes move day harder than it needs to be.
What to expect when you book College Movers
College Movers is built around a simple labor-only model. You stay in control of the transportation and timing, and our local student movers help with the physical work. That means you are not paying for a full-service moving package when what you really need is capable help with the heavy lifting.
For student move-in help, the biggest time-savers are usually preparation, access, and crew size. Have small items packed, walkways clear, elevators or loading areas reserved when needed, and a short list of heavy pieces that need the most attention.
Pricing starts at $50 per hour per mover with a simple two-hour minimum, so it is easier to plan the budget before move day.
Schedule moving help online once your date, access, and truck or storage plan are ready.
How to get the most value from College Movers
The easiest way to make student move-in help worth the money is to use the crew for the work that actually needs extra hands. Before move day, pack loose items, label boxes by room, and separate anything you want to keep with you. That lets the movers spend their time on furniture, stairs, loading, unloading, and the heavy pieces that slow most people down.
Access matters too. If there is an elevator, loading dock, gate code, parking rule, or narrow hallway, handle that before the crew arrives. A clear path from the room to the truck or storage area can save more time than people expect. It also lowers the chance of damage because the crew is not trying to work around clutter, blocked doors, or last-minute building issues.
The labor-only model works best when you think of College Movers as the muscle, not the whole moving package. You provide the truck, trailer, POD, storage unit, or destination plan. The crew helps with the physical part: carrying, loading, unloading, placing items, and making the hard pieces manageable. That keeps the service simple, affordable, and flexible.
If your move has several heavy items, stairs, or tight timing, book enough help to keep the job moving. If it is a smaller project, hourly moving help can still be useful because you are paying for focused labor instead of a full-service mover with extras you may not need.
Before you book, check these details
A little preparation makes student move-in help faster and more affordable. Confirm the move date, start time, parking plan, and where the crew should meet you. If the job involves an apartment, dorm, office, or storage facility, check gate codes, elevator rules, loading zones, and any time limits before move day.
It also helps to make a short priority list. Put the heaviest items, tightest spaces, and most important rooms at the top. That way, if the move takes less time than expected, the most difficult work is already handled. If the job takes longer, the crew is still spending time on the work that matters most.
When you are ready, gather your truck or storage details, choose the right crew size, and book the help early enough to protect your preferred time window.
Frequently asked questions about student move-in help
Do I need to provide my own truck or container?
Yes. College Movers is a labor-only moving option, so you provide the truck, trailer, POD, storage unit, or other transportation. The crew provides the muscle for loading, unloading, stairs, heavy furniture, and move-day labor.
What can the movers help with?
