<p>I'm moving away for college (from the Upper Midwest to the Rocky Mountain area) and I need some advice for people who did the same (or similar) thing.</p>
<p>So, first, the most important thing is funds. By the time, I'm ready to go and moved out (sometime in August, the fall of 2014 - I'm finishing my senior year of HS now), I'll have about $4,000-$6,000 in disposable dollars to spend on miscellaneous things that come with this kind of a move (security deposit, first month rent, toiletries, etc.).</p>
<p>What should I do first? I will be making a trip down to tour the college first and I've already made contact with the apartment I'd like to be staying in (about two blocks from the university).</p>
<p>What should I do? Any first steps/advice? PLEASE HELP! Thank you so much.</p>
