Organizing a Move with Students: Your Guide to a Stress-Free Moving Day

Students are in high demand for moving jobs, and for good reason:

• Cost-Efficiency: Compared to full-service companies, you save significantly on labor costs.
• Flexibility: Many students are happy to work weekends or evenings.
• Energy & Motivation: Young helpers are usually physically fit and motivated to get the job done.
• Short Notice: Student gigs can often be filled just a few days before the move.

A stress-free move starts weeks before the actual date.

1. Decluttering and Packing Label every box with its destination room and contents. Place heavy items at the bottom and lighter ones on top. A box should still be easily carryable by one person.

2. Estimating Your Needs As a rule of thumb:

• Studio/1-Bedroom (up to 40 m²): 2 helpers + yourself.
• 2 to 3-Bedroom Apartment: 3–4 helpers.
• Large Households: 5+ helpers, ideally split into loading and unloading teams.

Your helpers can be strong, but if the van is too small or parked 200 meters away, it will be stressful.

• Vehicle Size: It’s better to book one size larger. Having to drive twice doubles the time required.
• Parking Permits: Apply for an official temporary 'no-parking' zone from the city in advance. This shortens walking distances and saves your helpers' energy.
