Four years of college travel,
planned once.
College travel unfolds over four years — the campus visits, the move-in, the family weekends and flights home, and the move-out in May. Aurum handles the logistics along the way, so your family can focus on being there, not on planning how to get there.
Membership is complimentary, and it begins with The Student’s Guide to College Move-In.
College travel is not
one trip. It is a
four-year practice.
Most families handle college travel the same way they handle everything else that feels too complicated to plan in advance — reactively. Campus visits get booked two weeks before the tour. Move-in day gets figured out in August. Flights home for Thanksgiving get purchased in November, at November prices.
Aurum builds the travel around the academic calendar, not around the moment families realize they need to move. That means better availability, better logistics, and significantly less friction across the years when families are already managing enough.
We work with 30 households a year. That is on purpose — the work requires it.
One sign-up.
Four years, planned with you.
Aurum College Travel is where families begin planning the whole arc — the campus visits, the move-in, the weekends and flights in between, and the move-out in May. Membership is complimentary, and it opens three things the moment you join.
Twenty minutes, written for your student. What is worth carrying across the country, how to meet a roommate without a spreadsheet, and what to do in the first forty-eight hours — including that quiet afternoon after you drive away.
- What the room actually needs — and what it doesn’t
- Three easy roommate conversations, with what to say first
- What to carry, what to ship, and what to buy near campus
- The first week, honestly
- A who-does-what worksheet you fill in together
Your family’s way into Aurum’s college planning. One organized plan for campus visits through move-in day — so your family can focus on the college experience itself, not the logistics around it.
- Personalized college travel planning
- Dorm move-in logistics and coordination
- Hotel and transportation planning
- Family travel itinerary coordination
- A named point of contact for planning questions
Start with a complimentary fifteen-minute conversation — where your student is headed, when, and what the travel will actually take. If you want to go further, the full consultation is yours at the member rate.
- Complimentary 15-minute call
- Members receive a reduced consultation fee, which is applied toward the planning fee.
- Your planning fee quoted before any work begins
One advisor and four planned trips a year, from campus visits through move-out, with every leg handled at the same standard. Available to members on a twelve-month term.
Why families join first.
Tours booked two weeks out and Thanksgiving flights bought in November cost more — in money and in calm. Members start on the academic calendar, not the scramble.
The guide speaks to them directly, so the move becomes something you plan together rather than something you manage for them.
Questions go to a person, not an automated reply. We work with a limited number of households each year, so yours gets real attention.
Membership is complimentary, and so is your first fifteen-minute call. If you want us to plan later, your fee is quoted before any work begins, per trip or on a retainer — never a surprise.
