Why Students in Hillsboro Trust Us for Moving
Moving Fellows is a locally owned and operated moving service in Hillsboro, OR. Unlike big brokers that outsource your move, we send trained, reliable crews who know the area and care about your belongings. We take time to explain your quote, show up on time, and handle your things with respect.
✔ Licensed Oregon intrastate mover (fully compliant with state moving regulations)
✔ Fully insured for residential relocation jobs
✔ 5-star rated customer service standard

✔ Local Hillsboro staff familiar with neighborhoods and campus areas
Real Hillsboro moves are different from big city long hauls. Most local moves wrap up in a few hours, and we plan accordingly so you don’t overpay.
What “Student Moving” Really Means
Student moving isn’t just hauling boxes. It’s a specific type of relocation that often involves:
- Small apartments, studios, or dorm rooms
- Tight hallways and stairs (especially in older campus housing)
- Heavier items like desks, dressers, futons, and bike frames
- Short-notice moving windows
- Limited budgets and tight coordination with roommates
We structure everything with those constraints in mind. You get clear pricing, clear communication, and a team that knows how to move small spaces efficiently.
Moving in Hillsboro? Here’s What You Should Know
Cost and timing are big worries for students.
- Local moves (under 50 miles) are usually priced hourly.
- Most moves in Hillsboro take around 3–5 hours depending on size.
- Peak season (May–September) fills up fast, so booking early helps secure your date.
- Weekend and month-end dates fill fastest.
Most students don’t need a big crew, so your price stays reasonable. When you book with Moving Fellows, we tell you upfront what to expect—no hidden fees, no travel charges you didn’t ask for.
Student Move Checklist
Here are the things students often forget:
Before moving day
✔ Label all boxes with room and contents
✔ Disassemble large furniture if possible
✔ Clear narrow hallways and stairwells
✔ Reserve elevators if needed
✔ Confirm move-in times at your new place
On moving day we handle the heavy work so you can focus on deadlines, classes, and settling in.
Cost Examples (Typical in Hillsboro)
Actual prices vary, but here are rough numbers locals see for comparison:
- Labor-only for a studio: ~$150–$300
- Local full service 1-bed apartment: ~$365–$1,000+
We’ll give you a personalized quote so you know exactly what you’re getting.
