Moving out of an apartment or shared house near campus?
Quick answer: Student movers in San Diego from Hulk Movers handle small apartment and shared-house moves near SDSU, UCSD and USD, runs to and from a storage unit over the summer, and moves a parent books for a student. The crew is sized to a student load, so a studio gets a smaller crew than a family home.
Student moves cluster around the same few weeks every year. Leases near campus turn over at the end of the spring semester and through the summer, and everyone on the block seems to move on the same weekend. The loads are small, but the timing is tight and the parking is usually gone.

Around SDSU and the College Area
Near San Diego State, much of the student housing is older apartment complexes and single-family homes split between roommates, with street parking that disappears on move-out weekends. Tell us whether the unit is upstairs and where a truck can stop, and book early if your lease ends the same day as everyone else's.
UCSD, La Jolla Village and University City
Students at UC San Diego often live in the apartment complexes around La Jolla Village and University City, where leasing offices commonly ask for elevator reservations and a certificate of insurance. We send the certificate to the leasing office ahead of time so it is on file before the crew arrives.
USD, Linda Vista and Morena
Off-campus housing near the University of San Diego spreads into Linda Vista and the Morena area, with hillside streets and complexes where the parking lot is the only place a truck can stand. A photo of the entrance and the walk to the door saves time on the day.
Summer storage and moves parents book from afar
When a student leaves for the summer, the move is often a bed, a desk and a stack of boxes going into a storage unit, then back out to a new apartment in August. A parent can arrange the move by phone from out of town. The student, or a roommate, just needs to be there to open the door and point out what goes.

Common questions
Can my parents book the move for me?
Yes. A parent can handle the estimate and booking by phone. The student or a roommate needs to be at the unit on moving day.
How early should we book an end-of-lease move?
As soon as you know the date. The weeks around the end of the spring semester and late summer fill quickly near every campus.
Can you move only my things out of a shared house?
Yes. Tell us which room and which pieces are yours, and the crew loads only those.
