<p>Well I can maybe help more from my sister’s UVA experience than my own. When my sister started her first year we lived in Kansas and we loaded up the truck and made the 2-day drive to move her in (then we combined the trip with visiting family, etc). Her second and third years though we lived in Korea, so she didn’t really have any choice but to store her stuff…there was one company who would come and pack everything up and deliver it the next year–which is really nice if you have heavy things like a refrigerator that you don’t want to carry up and down the stairs by yourself. They also give you free boxes and tape which is nice unless you really like packing your things in oddly sized food boxes from the dining hall 
They send out an email to the students…I think they’re called Summer Storage…you can google them.
It’s a little easier for me since we live in Pennsylvania now so the drive wasn’t as long as it was for my sister. But I did take Charlottesville Cab Co. when I had to get to the airport over spring break…it’s just a family owned company and they were great…I think it was $25.</p>
<p>Also, just a side issue that OOS people sometimes worry about…speaking as someone who (though technically in-state) came to UVA not knowing one single person when I got here…it wasn’t even an issue. Your daughter probably won’t have any trouble at all meeting people, and though some Virginia students come to UVA knowing people from their high school, most tend to branch out and meet new people…
Number one piece of advice that you’ll probably hear a bagillion times (but it’s so true)…get involved! It’s so easy to meet people that way since you already have something in common with them. hooray for UVA–it’s the best school ever! :)</p>
