i want to go to college out of state. when it's time for semester break, what do i do with all my belongings?

Question

i don't have ANY family or friends in the state that i want to go to college in, so what do i do when summer break comes?

how do i get a job?

i am so worried about that. i am a junior in highschool, and i live in Michigan, but i want to go to college in California.

Answer 1

i know what you mean

i just moved here from another country to start college

i live on campus - its quite cool

jobs - dont you just get one the same way you would as if you were at home? were im going they even have on campus jobs, like admin stuff - just ask around

my stuff, during breaks - i wanted to take it all with me, but i realized that that is stupid - but i know a really sweet family and maybe i'll ask them - do you think thats kind of forward?

"hey im going to chicago for Christmas break, do you mind watching my stuff?" - anyway...

ask a faculty memeber...?

i dont know dude, but dont worry, things will work themselves out

you'll make connnections

good luck okay

Answer 2

When summer break comes you can either send everything home (or drive it home if you can) or get a storage facility and store what you don't need. Or, if you get an apartment you wouldn't be going home as often and so that would eliminate the whole problem.

Getting a job in a new state is like getting a job anywhere. You look for companies you'd like to work for and apply. Since you'll be in class, working on campus or somewhere with different shifts would be better than a big company.

Almost every college has dorms, especially in California. Some suck, so you can get an apartment.

Answer 3

I can think of two main options:

1. Go home. My university offers storage boxes that are kept here, but I think that's rare. Or you can send it back home the same way it got to Cali (driving, etc)

2. Stay on or near campus and get a job (unless you just want to sit around all day). Look into whether the college has summer housing, or you can rent an apartment.
