<p>Thanks again, Hazelorb, OldUvaGrad, and if couse, Dean J.</p>
<p>We’ve decided my DH will drive the 2 1/2 day trip, and I will fly out and meet up with him once he arrives. This way we’ll avoid shipping fees by transporting everything ourselves, avoid one airline fee, and have a large vehicle available to use while we’re there. Our D must be at UVA early for practice and we’ve been told the younger athletes always stay with older ones who have apartments and then move into their dorms. I definitely think we’ll be able to avoid this in the spring, though. I’m hopeful one of us can simply fly up, rent a car, help her pack and transport things to a storage unit (or utilize the company suggested on this thread that will come pick it up), and fly back home; all things to consider. </p>
<p>I was very surprised to learn of the high poverty rate in Cville. We hadn’t really seen any evidence of this while we were there. Well, again, thank you all for the fabulous suggestions. My H has not yet seen the school and is very eager to see it during orientation this summer. He’s curious to get a firsthand look, and see why she gravitated to UVa over other options. Thanks again!</p>
