| UCLA, I believe that you can buy at your local BBB store, and then have that merchandise ready for pick up at the BBB near the school.
We are within a day's drive, so when my son went to orientation we rented a storage unit and brought a lot of things with us (carload full) and then just stored it in June. We only needed to rent it through August. The unit was quite reasonable, and it really helped us because after dropped our son off in August, we went on a short vacation (so we lugged our things along at that time). The only thing that we bought locally was a TV. Our son's roommate brought the refrigerator, which was easy for him since he was from the area.
I remember that when I was at school (another era), the kids who flew had large trunks shipped to the college. The trunks were there when we arrived. |
