<p>Most of my daughter’s friends who live far away have used a combination of things - put some boxes in storage and shipped some stuff home (I assume the stuff they wanted to use over the summer). On move out day the storage companies actually have people on campus with boxes, etc. collecting stuff to store. If you do one of the summer storage packages they will have restrictions on when they pick up and when in the fall they drop off again - but they do try to work with the school’s move out/move in dates.</p>
