Moving Services Designed for University Students
College students face unique moving challenges – limited budgets, no vehicles, academic calendars that don’t align with standard lease dates, and the constant transitions between dorms, apartments, summer breaks, study abroad programs, and post-graduation relocations. Litemovers understands student life and provides affordable, flexible moving services specifically designed for university students traveling between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh’s major colleges and universities.
We’ve moved thousands of students attending Penn, Temple, Drexel, Villanova, St. Joseph’s, La Salle, Carnegie Mellon, Pitt, Duquesne, Chatham, Point Park, and dozens of other Pennsylvania institutions. From freshman dorm move-ins to senior year apartment upgrades to post-graduation career relocations, we provide student-appropriate services that won’t break your budget. Our crews understand university logistics, work around campus parking restrictions, and know the layouts of major university housing complexes throughout both cities.
