i've moved alot...as well as for being a student...i take it your family will still be staying in your home town if it's just you moving
if so then just leave all the junk with them...or put it into storage if you cant leave it with them
make sure you pack all the essentials for the other end into one box if you're going to an unfurnished flat...namely anything you're going to need to eat or drink at the other end...that way you can at least sort that out before doing that big unloading of furniture and the rest
moving truly is a pain in the ass though...i've moved about 10 times in my life for several different reasons...parents being promoted...them splitting up...going to university...getting my own place...
the actual move is a hassle but once you're there it's class
i'd also recommend taking a walk or a drive around the local area as soon as you can...
also introduce yourself to your new neighbours as soon as you can...especially if you've got noisy work to do in your new digs...and apologise in advance for the noise...it keeps them on side while you are and they might even help...
the main thing above all else though....HAVE A HOUSE WARMING PARTY....
