<p>I echo RWE in thanking jckazoo and Big10Padre for the benefit of your experience. This has really been a helpful thread for me! That whole HawkAlert thing escaped me entirely!</p>
<p>RWE, even though I’m in the midwest I am still too far away to be toting futons all over but I am (naively) optimistic that my son will, by year-end, know a handful of people who live within an hour’s drive and whom he might cajole into helping him move stuff. This discussion makes me recall my own experience at Madison and my stuff seemed to always get where it needed to go, including a 1 million pound hide-a-bed which lived in several places with me. I have no idea how it moved around, but it did. I think college students are a helpful, close-knit community and if the futon needs to move I am hoping there will be a F150 with a big Hawkeye decal somewhere in my kid’s sight!</p>
