Shipping belongings to school beforehand

You can use something like UHaul’s U-Box service - they give you these shipping containers that you pack your stuff into. Either you tow it with your car or they’ll deliver it. You pack it with your stuff, and then drop it off or they’ll pick it up. They’ll store it for X days and then deliver it to your new address, if you want.

They say a U-Box can fit a room and a half’s worth of belongings.

There are other moving companies and storage services that offer stuff like this - like PODS, UPack and Door to Door.

I haven’t actually used any of these storage solutions (I’ve rented a UHaul truck, but not the boxes) bu it sounds simple enough.

The school is not going to hold anything for you. They’d have to have the space, and they’d also have to be held responsible for your belongings while you are gone. You’ll have to pay someone to do it for you.

The other solution is to visit family earlier in the summer and be back home a week before you need to move so that you can handle business.
