Whether you’re saying goodbye to your Lang apartment, settling in for another year, or getting ready to move in for the first time — summer is a time of transition, and we’re here to help make yours a smooth one.
If You’ve Just Moved Out…
Congratulations! Whether you’ve graduated or are headed to a new home, you’ve wrapped up your time at Lang — and we hope it was a great one. Now that move-out is behind you, it’s time to think about what’s next for your stuff.
- Moving back home? Start sorting what really needs to come with you — and what doesn’t. For the items you no longer need, consider donating gently used furniture and decor to the Goodwill in Newark or posting on UD Parents Connect: Furniture Buy & Sell to find your items a second life.
- Moving to another apartment? Think ahead about how your current belongings will fit into your new space. If you’re short on room, you might want to store items in a garage or local storage facility until you’re more settled.
- Don’t want to move it at all? That’s valid too — now is a great time to sell or donate larger items instead of dragging them from one place to another. Again, consider donating gently used furniture and decor to the Goodwill in Newark or posting on UD Parents Connect: Furniture Buy & Sell to find your items a second life.
If You’re Staying in the Same Apartment…
Staying put is the ultimate moving win — but it’s still the perfect time to do a mid-year refresh, so take advantage.
- Reorganize your space to make it more functional for your upcoming year. Clear out drawers, tidy storage areas, and rethink what you actually use.
- Welcoming a new roommate? Make space for them now to avoid clutter later. A fresh start helps everyone feel more at home.
- Lost a roommate? Time to reassess shared items and responsibilities. A little rebalancing now can make the months ahead smoother.
If You’re New to Lang…
Welcome! We’re so glad you’ll be living with us. While you’re waiting for move-in day, a little planning now can make a huge difference later.
- Coordinate with your roommates about who’s bringing what — think kitchen gear, cleaning supplies, or living room furniture. (Trust us, you don’t need three toasters.)
- Start a checklist of essentials and nice-to-haves. We’ll include a full list in next month’s newsletter to help you cover all the bases.
- Make move-in plans early. Know your date, talk to your roommates about timing, and think ahead about how you’ll get your things here.
No matter where this summer takes you, we hope your move — big or small — sets you up for a great next chapter. And if you ever need anything from us, we’re just a phone call or email away.
