How Slippy's Moving Systems Supports Seniors and Students

Moving away to school is a significant event in someone's life. Saying goodbye to family and relocating to a new place for several years is challenging, especially for young people. Because there's so much to focus on with school itself, the difficulties involved in the actual move are often underestimated. Whether you’re a student heading to a dorm or a senior settling into a new home, we take care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters.
