Introduction
Moving is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel scary and overwhelming. However, with
a little patience, preparation, and help from family and friends, you can make this transition
a successful and rewarding one. Give yourself as much time as possible to find a place that
suits your needs and fits your budget. Take care of signing all the appropriate paperwork,
getting your utilities set up, and preparing your new apartment for move-in. Finally, you’ll
need to pack up and move your stuff in—and get any necessities that you don’t already
have to make your new home complete.
