Default Moving far away for graduate school

I'm going to Florida State for law school this August and I'm moving from Columbus, Ohio. How the [censored] do people move across the country? It seems like it's going to be incredibly time and crappiness intensive. I've never moved by myself before and certainly not to a city where I don't know anyone.

Does anyone who has done this have any hints or tips? Right now I'm looking at craigslist for Tallahassee and the FSU student newspaper classifieds to try to find a place to rent. I don't really want to live alone for financial reasons, but how can I screen roommates from 800 miles away?

It's pretty overwhelming, to be honest. I thought about living in the school provided graduate housing, but I'm guessing they [censored] you on the price if they are anything like OSU, and it seems like their little graduate student village is ~3 miles away from campus.
