Just finished my semester of exchange and had to leave behind a desk, a chair, a lamp and some storage boxes I bought at the start. Tried selling on Wallapop for weeks, nobody showed up. Ended up leaving it on the street.
Spent around €300 on furniture for 5 months. That's like €60/month just to have a basic room setup, and at the end it's essentially trash.
Talked to some people in my residencia and apparently almost everyone does the same thing. One guy bought a whole IKEA kit, another girl had her parents ship stuff from home.
I keep thinking there must be a better way. Like, wouldn't it make sense if there was a service that just delivered the basics before you arrived and picked everything up when you left? You'd pay monthly, return it, they clean it and give it to the next student.
Is this already a thing somewhere? Would you actually use something like that, or is the current chaos just "part of the experience" at this point?
