NYC is a longer drive, for sure, but still doable in one day. She doesn't seem that interested in going quite that far away either, which is ok with me.

If she's living in a dorm room there is no need to bring a U-Haul, and if she wants things from home sometimes it is not cost prohibitive to ship it as extra luggage, cargo on the flight, or ship it another way, I think PhoenixAzul as well as others used Greyhound shipping with positive results.
My parents didn't take me to school, so I took everything as luggage one time or in my car the other time and bought things when I got there. There was no storage in the dorms when I did my stint there and everything was kept in our room under the bed or on top of the wardrobe. In the summer people get storage units and usually share with friends to get a bigger one at lower cost. I know people who put theirs cars in storage units over the summer instead of leaving them parked in town or on campus.
