Leaving Chorley for halls: the September run and the June return
A first-year room is mostly boxes, bedding, a desk lamp and a few kitchen things, so it fits easily with space for a bike or a desk chair. UCLan's main campus is in Preston, about 11.5 miles by the M61 and M65, and Edge Hill's campus in Ormskirk has halls on site, about 19 miles by the M6 and M58. Halls set arrival slots in September, so book the van for the slot you have been given.
June is the return. The room comes back to a terrace off Eaves Lane, a house in Astley Village or one of the new homes on Buckshaw Village, often with more than went out. For a second-year shared house the dates depend on the landlord, so send the hour keys are released at one end and the time the room must be empty at the other. Students at universities further away get a single long run with the same fixed price.

Student Removals in Chorley: your questions
Is there a university in Chorley?
No. Chorley students mostly go to Runshaw College in Leyland, or move away to universities such as UCLan in Preston and Edge Hill in Ormskirk, which is why the moves run out in September and back in June.
How far in advance should I book a student move from Chorley?
Once your halls arrival slot or tenancy date is known. September weekends fill quickly, so a few weeks of notice is sensible.
Can you bring my room home from a university further away?
Yes. A long run is booked by arrangement and priced as one fixed figure, with the drive in it.
