PODS Tyler Longview Provides Cost-Saving Tips for College Students Heading Back to Campus

TYLER, Texas - Aug. 21, 2024 - PRLog -- As summer winds down and the back-to-school season approaches, students are gearing up for an organized and stress-free move back to campus, while parents are facing rising costs. According to the 2024 Deloitte back-to-school survey, parents are taking a cautious approach to back-to-school spending and plan to spend an average of $586 per child. PODS Tyler Longview, a leading moving and storage company, offers practical and budget-friendly back-to-school hacks and tips to help make the move back to campus smoother and more affordable.

Combine and consolidate – Start by separating essentials from non-essentials. Don't move what you don't need. With limited space in college dorms and apartments, weed out unnecessary items before going back to school. PODS has a variety of portable storage container sizes and can help you find the perfect solution while you declutter and organize.

Coordinate with friends and roommates – Create a shared back-to-school moving list and decide what everyone is going to bring to the dorm room or apartment, so you avoid overpacking. To make a PODS container more affordable, load one up with belongings from three or four friends for a convenient and cost-effective move.

Simplify your college supplies and decor – Bring your favorite items from home and coordinate with roommates to avoid duplicate purchases. This not only saves money but also space.

Invest wisely in technology – In 2024, students are prioritizing tech over decor. If you need to purchase a device, look out for student discounts from manufacturers.

Save on textbooks – Consider renting textbooks, buying digital copies, or borrowing from friends who have recently completed the course you're taking. Most colleges have online resources to connect you with other students.

Let PODS do the driving – After all the packing and planning, relax and let PODS handle the transportation. Our drivers pick up and drop off containers on your schedule. Skip the stress and expense of driving and start the school year off right.
