UMass Boston student Oscar Lopez, second from right, moved from Royce Road to Commonwealth Avenue in Allston. The worst part was dealing with the traffic, he said.

“We don’t have much stuff to move, and it’s not super heavy,” Lopez said. “But with the traffic, a two or three hour move takes significantly longer.”
