Ok so here's the deal im moving from Salinas Ca to who the hell knows where in Tennessee in the next three months. There's a reason why i don't know where in Tennessee, but id really rather not explain it. Anyway i got 3 months to come up with some money for moving. How much would it be? Say its the most expensive place ever (I'll probably move into an apartment, but its better safe and estimate high) (and if i do move into an apartment, it'll most likely be a two bedroom) Anyway, ive never had to move before and Ive never owned a place of my own so i don't know how things work. Idk how much a moving truck is or an apartment or electricity, just give me the low down please. Whats it like in Tennessee anyway? Sunny? Rainy? Gangs? Cultural?
Answer
Sounds like you are overwhelmed with all the details. Just take them one at a time.
The cost of moving depends on how you do it. Are you going to rent a truck and drive yourself, or are you going to hire a moving van. A moving van is based on weight and distance, so I can't be much help there. The rates are set by federal law, so they are about the same from one company to another.
If you are going to rent a truck, you'll need to call one of the national companies that lets you pick it up in CA and drop it in TN. They can tell you the different sizes and how much they cost. If you go to www.uhaul.com and click on the "Rates and Reservations" at the upper left, you can get an estimate. Start looking for sturdy boxes so you don't have to buy them.
How much you pay for an apartment will depend on where you end up. In a small town, it might be under $500 a month for a 2BR, but in Nashville/Memphis/Chattanooga/Knoxville it could be almost double that. You might check out www.rentals.com for some prices, but they only have a small portion of the rentals available. Remember that you will probably need first and last month's rent and a security deposit.
If you have to do your own utilities, you will have to pay a deposit. Again, it is hard to say how much because each company has a different policy. They will run your credit score that tells them how much risk you are. I would guess a minimum of $300 deposit for water/sewer/electric/gas. I'm not sure if cable and phone require a deposit. If you have had service in your name in CA, that helps. Fortunately, the actual cost of water, electricity, and gas are reasonable (lots of rivers and power from TVA).
As for Tennessee, it is usually sunny, but we have our rain storms too. We have four seasons, some snow, some hot and humid days. Generally it is very nice. A few gangs but mainly in the big cities. Culture includes music (country, symphony, bluegrass, blues), art, historic sites (Civil War, Scopes Monkey Trial, presidential sites), plus our varied countryside (mountains, hills, swamps, forests, farms, small towns, big cities).
Hope this helps.

?????Why?? I just don't get it...?
**MaRaH**
Ok, I went to Memphis, Tennessee and I toured Graceland. My question is....WHY AREN'T FANS ALLOWED TO GO UPSTAIRS???? I just don't get it! Shouldn't fans have a right to see Elvis's bedroom and bathroom and whatever else is up there? I'm just really upset becuz that is just something that I wanted to witness, Elvis's bedroom and bathroom and just experience what it was like to see the King's, I guess you could call, private quarters. And another question, there is a guard at the bottom of the stairs and a guard at the top of the stairs and there is another guard at the doors, and those double doors leading to Elvis's bedroom/bathroom, etc. are like completely sealed like you wouldn't believe. Anyways, I get like this haunting feeling like something is wrong or something is telling me that you really don't wanna go up there, it's bad. I do realize that Elvis did die here, but I just don't get it and I'm so confused. Why are my instincts telling me that?? Just...help, I'd appreciate it! :)

"Shouldn't fans have a right to see Elvis's bedroom and bathroom ..."? You are kidding, right?
You don't have any "right". You are paying admission to enter a private residence. The owner sets the rules, and you have to abide by them. In many historic homes, the upstairs is off-limits due to fire laws. If they allow tourists up there, they must install additional exits from the second floor which would ruin the character of the house.
Rather than obsessing over what you didn't see and creating some conspiracy theory, you should have spent your visit appreciating the things you could see.
And when you take the tour of the White House, they don't parade you through the bathrooms.
