The Ole Miss Family Association Partners With Room2Room Movers
Room2Room Movers Arrives in Oxford: A College Moving & Storage Service with Heart
When Brooks Fuller helped fellow Auburn students retrieve their belongings during the sudden COVID campus closure in 2020, he never imagined it would become a thriving business. What began as "Auburn people helping Auburn people" has evolved into Room2Room Movers, a comprehensive moving, storage, and shipping service designed specifically for college students and their families.
Now, the company that transformed the college moving experience in Auburn has brought its expertise to Oxford.
From Pandemic Solution to Moving Revolution:
Room2Room's story began in March 2020 when Fuller, then an Auburn University finance student and baseball player, responded to an urgent need. As campus buildings closed during spring break, thousands of students were left unable to access their belongings. Fuller and his brother, wearing CDC-approved masks and gloves, secured access to dorm rooms, packed students' items, and shipped them anywhere in the country – charging only the cost of shipping.
What started as a charitable act transformed when those same students called again the following year, treating Fuller's service as an established business. He couldn't say no, and Room2Room was officially born.
The Room2Room Difference:
Today, Room2Room offers comprehensive moving, storage, and shipping solutions that make the college transition seamless for students and parents alike. Their unique "students-moving-students" model hires local young people who understand campus life and create a comfortable, trustworthy moving experience for clients and their families back home.
"When we first started Room2Room, I wasn't quite prepared for the overwhelming response from students and their parents," Fuller notes. "I quickly came to appreciate how our impact goes way beyond simply moving a few boxes and furniture - students and families rely on us to serve them during one of the most stressful times of the year."
Parents consistently highlight the peace of mind that comes from knowing exactly who is handling their child's belongings. One parent shared: "Your movers went out of their way to welcome our daughter into her first home away from home. It really put her mother and I at ease knowing who the two movers were and that she was settled in and already making a few friends."
Now Serving Ole Miss:
As Room2Room expands throughout the South, Oxford has become their newest community. The company hires and trains young, hardworking local movers to serve the Ole Miss campus community, ensuring they understand the unique needs of college students and the community.
Their services include:
- Moving & Storage: Includes pick up, climate controlled storage, and delivery for move-in.
- Ship to Campus: Order furniture online, ship to Room2Room’s local facility, schedule your delivery for move-in day.
- Local Moving: From one house, apartment, or dorm to the next.
