Moving into your new home is one of the most exciting parts of the Clemson student living experience. We know it can also be a little stressful with everything you have to coordinate. We want to help make your transition as smooth as possible, so we’ve put together our essential checklist for a seamless move-in day.
Before You Pack: Confirm the Details
In the weeks before your move, confirm your specific move-in date and time with the leasing office. We always provide clear guidelines for our new residents. Also, ensure your utilities are scheduled to start (if required) and that you have your renter’s insurance policy in place. A little preparation prevents big headaches.
Pack Smart: Label Everything
Don’t just throw things in boxes. Label every box clearly by room (e.g., ‘Kitchen,’ ‘Bedroom,’ ‘Bathroom’). This makes the unpacking process so much more organized and efficient. We also suggest packing a special ‘first-night’ box that you keep separate and open immediately. It’s a simple tip that makes a huge difference.
Prepare Your “First 24 Hours” Box
This one box should contain all your essentials for the first day. We mean toiletries, medications, a phone charger, a change of clothes, basic bedding, and a towel. Trust us, you won’t want to dig through multiple boxes for your toothbrush after a long day of moving. This is our top tip!
Inspect and Document Your New Home
Before you unpack a single box, walk through your new home. We recommend taking photos or videos to document the condition. Fill out your room condition form thoroughly and submit it to the office right away. We value this transparency, as it protects both you and us and ensures a great start.
A successful move is all about planning, from packing smart to documenting your new space. We want your move-in day to be exciting, not stressful, as you start your new chapter. At Treehaus Townhomes and Flats, we aim to provide the best student housing in Clemson, and that includes a seamless move-in.
