Whether you're a student or a parent of a college student, moving away to college is an exciting—and daunting—process, especially if you're looking at an out-of-state or cross-country move. If a long-distance move to college is in your future, there are a lot of factors to consider. Will you live on or off-campus? How will you get there?
