Student Moves Are Different. Here’s Why That Matters
Student moves usually come with tight deadlines, small spaces, and limited budgets. Elevators book fast. Parking is tricky. Dorm rules are strict. And most students don’t own trucks or moving tools.
This part’s tricky if you don’t have help.
That’s where we come in.
Moving Fellows works with students every week in Portland. We know the buildings, the schedules, and the problems that pop up last minute. We show up ready, stay organized, and get the job done without wasting time or money.

What Our Student Moving Service Covers
You don’t need a full-service move if you don’t want one.
You also don’t need to do everything yourself.

Dorm moves are fast and rule-heavy. Limited time slots. Specific loading zones. Tight hallways.
We help with:

-
Summer storage transfers
-
Room changes during the school year
-
Elevator coordination and timing
We work clean and quick so you don’t get stuck waiting.

Studio apartments
-
Shared student housing
-
Small one-bedroom units
-
Multi-room apartments with roommates
We disassemble furniture if needed and reassemble it at the new place.

We’ll load and unload it safely.
This option is popular with students who want help without paying for transportation.

We can:

Pack fragile items

Wrap furniture
-
Protect electronics

Unpack essentials so you can settle in faster
