Moving to grad school frugally: split the cost with incoming students from GradCafe!

[Delta]

It costs about $1500 before gas cost to rent a 10' UHaul w/ trailer (ouch). Similar to ridesharing, splitting the cost saves quite a bit of money, though, the logistics would be a little difficult to plan out. Post here if you're interested in connecting with another redditor/incoming grad student.

Post a comment on your move and provide the following information

Dates for move:

If people are moving from similar areas or are along the way, it's a great way to meet someone new while saving cash. PM them or respond to their comments if you're interested.

Oh! Also, remember that you should purchase a larger truck to accommodate both party's belongings.

I am moving from: El Paso, TX to Hanover, NH.

I am planning on moving between the dates of: Aug 11th - Aug 20th.

PM if interested!

You could post this on craigslist too which might get you more results.

Though your chances of finding a good match will be slimmer here than craigslist, I'm willing to bet your chances of dealing with crazies is slightly lower.
