Fly or drive for move-in

So I live about 16 hours away from NYC and was wondering, do most people outside of the new england area fly or drive up to Columbia for move-in day?

I abhor long car rides, and I would imagine driving 30ish hours would suck for my dad.

I’m leaning towards flying, so would a large suitcase or two be sufficient for the “bare essentials”? And has anyone tried mailing your stuff up there?

Also, I plan on doing a pre-orientation program, so I’ll be moving in a week or so early. I know this is really early, but I’m trying to decide if I want to do a summer program which ends only two days (which may not be enough time to drive up) before the early move-in day. Thanks.
