Get ready to move with your local Student Movers

Moving as a student doesn’t just mean packing boxes, it’s a big life change. Between classes, finals, and roommates, you already have enough on your plate. That’s where Wolley Movers Chicago comes in. We specialize in helping students move across the city, whether it’s into a dorm, a first apartment, or back home for break.

 

We’ve helped students move in and out of housing near University of Chicago, UIC, DePaul, Loyola, Columbia College, Roosevelt, and more. Our movers understand the unique challenges of student moves: tight hallways, busy elevators, narrow stairwells, and unpredictable schedules. You focus on school, we’ll handle the move.

Full-Service Moving Options for Students

You don’t need to tackle your move alone. Wolley Movers offers flexible, full-service options designed just for college students. We’re more than a truck and a few guys, we’re a full team with experience navigating Chicago’s student housing and city streets.

Here’s how we make student moving easier:

  • Packing and unpacking with professional materials

  • Clean, sanitized trucks for small or large moves

  • Furniture disassembly and reassembly (beds, desks, futons, etc.)

  • Campus check-in/out coordination

  • Flexible scheduling around exams or RA move-out times

  • Licensed, insured, and friendly movers

From Rogers Park to Hyde Park and everywhere in between, we’ve handled student moves in dorms, walk-ups, high-rises, and shared apartments. Need us to coordinate with your building’s security or move-in day schedule? We’ve got it.

Why Chicago Students Trust Wolley Movers

College life is unpredictable, roommate changes, last-minute move-outs, or awkward lease gaps can throw off your plans. That’s why students across the city rely on Wolley Movers. We stay flexible, communicate clearly, and treat every job with care.

We’ve helped students move on short notice, handle split moves across multiple addresses, store furniture over the summer, and safely transport fragile items like instruments, tech, and art.

Our student-friendly pricing never means cutting corners. Whether you’re moving one room or a full apartment, our team is respectful, efficient, and always ready to help.

Packing Tips for Chicago Student Moves

Want to pack smarter, not harder? Here are a few tips for student moves in the city:

  • Use rolling suitcases for heavy books or files

  • Label your boxes clearly by room or roommate

  • Wrap electronics in towels or clothing to save on padding

  • Pack one “open first” box with essentials like chargers, sheets, and toiletries

  • Schedule your move during off-peak hours (weekday mornings are usually best)

And if packing isn’t your thing, let us do it! We’ll bring all the supplies and handle everything from start to finish.

Chicago Neighborhoods We Serve for Student Moves

We move students throughout all the major college neighborhoods in Chicago and beyond. Some of the busiest areas we serve include Hyde Park near the University of Chicago, Lincoln Park for DePaul students, Streeterville and the South Loop for Columbia College and Roosevelt, Rogers Park for Loyola, and Little Italy and University Village for UIC. We also frequently help students in Lakeview, Wrigleyville, and Logan Square.

Each neighborhood comes with its own challenges, street parking, building rules, or tight spaces, but we know how to plan for them.

Moving Out for Summer or Study Abroad?

Not sticking around campus over break? We offer temporary storage and flexible scheduling to help you transition out of your space, without the stress.

Our summer move-out services include:

  • Packing and storage for the summer months

  • Pickup and delivery to your new housing when you return

  • Fast service during move-out deadlines

No need to drag everything home just to bring it back. We’ll keep it safe and bring it right to your new place when you’re ready.
