Student Moves in Poole

Halls give you a time, not just a date. BU's 2026 arrivals ran from 17 to 20 September, with students booking an arrival date and time at the end of August. AUB opens its halls from 8:30am on the first day of the tenancy, with slots booked through the halls team. Tell us your slot and we arrive for it, so you are not left on the pavement with a full car boot.

Moving out is just as fixed. AUB's 2025/26 hall tenancies ended at 10am on 27 June 2026, and anything left behind is disposed of, with a charge for clearing rubbish and abandoned furniture. Book the van for the morning of your last day and nothing gets left.

Neither university offers parking at its halls. AUB says there is no parking at any of its halls unless you hold a blue badge, and BU tells new students its halls have no parking either. That is where a man and van helps: we unload, carry everything to your room and move the van on, so nobody has to hunt for a car park during the arrivals rush.

After first year, most students move into shared houses. Talbot Village, between the two campuses, is part of Poole, and its residents' association counted 22 houses in multiple occupation among more than 600 homes in 2025. Wallisdown, on the Poole side of BH12, is the other close option. Moving between halls and a house share, or from one shared house to the next over summer, is a short run that suits one small van.

If several of you in the same house are moving on the same day, we can often join the runs and split the cost.

AUB's 2026/27 hall tenancies end on 26 June or 10 July 2027, and many students need their things stored or taken home until September. We can take a room's worth home to anywhere in the UK, or into a storage unit near Poole and back out again for the new year.

Old furniture from a shared house is a different job. BCP's bulky waste collection is for residents, not landlords, and charges £41 for the first item, so for a house full of leftovers our rubbish removal is usually simpler.
