Our son will be a freshman at Harvard in the fall. We live halfway across the country in a rural area. The idea of driving in Boston/Cambridge -- and then trying to find parking for a vehicle and maybe a small trailer while/after unloading -- sounds intimidating.

Does anyone have any best-practices advice for moving a kid to Harvard? Is it smartest to fly the student there, then have him buy what he needs once he is there? (Would most places out there deliver since he won't have a car there?) I'm talking about things like a futon or a refrigerator, in addition to smaller stuff.
