College Moving
Boston College Students Moving
Every year thousands of students from all across the country and the world arrive in Boston to pursue their degrees and future career opportunities. Most of them are moving away from their families and are in need of housing. Usually during their initial stage of college, they might choose to live in dorm rooms on campus until after they get familiar with the area and rent an apartment. Many of them choose to stay in the dorm rooms throughout the whole college in order to stay on campus close to their classes, many of them have part time jobs on campus, and so on.

Stress-Free Student Moves in Boston
We wanted to make sure all of our Boston students, especially those who are relocating from far away, have an opportunity and access to a stress-free, reliable, fast, and cost effective moving service in order to peacefully settle down at their new place whether it is a dorm room or an apartment/house.
Better Life Moving company has performed over two thousand college moves, especially during the month of August, which is the month where most of the college students need to move. Due to our low cost and reliable service, our company was able to gain many happy clients that have been returning to us for their future moving needs.
Move Together, Pay Less
Most of the college students in Boston need to move on the same date. If you are a Boston resident, you have probably seen it before, August 31st or September 1st is where you get to see all the moving trucks pretty much on every street of Boston, especially those close to the colleges.
For that specific reason, we started offering combined moves for our students. What that means, is that, for example, if there are two students living in the same dorm and they both need to move out from their dorm-rooms to the same area, we would perform one service for both of them. We would carefully load the belongings of the first student, then of the second student, move their items together in one truck, and then unload them one by one as well. In that case, they are able to split the cost between them and thus get professional help for their move for half of the price.

FAQ
Here you will find the most common questions answered by the Better Life Moving Team.
What is Travel Time for Movers?
Travel time is the time for our team of movers to get to your first address from our warehouse plus the time to come back from your second address. It is calculated based on the hourly rate. We do not add traffic into the calculation as we understand that some areas of Boston can get extremely busy during a certain hour and we do not want you to be paying over for that. Our CRM uses a GPS in order to determine the travel time. Travel time is added to the amount of hours spent on your project itself (loading, unloading, and in between the addresses).
Travel time is individual for each client and will be based on the distance between their addresses and our warehouse plus the hourly rate they are getting.
What is included in the hourly rate?
The hourly rate includes all the protective materials for your belongings to eliminate damage, such as shrinks, wraps, blankets, tapes as well as all the expenses related to the truck, such as gas, mileage, tolls.
