I will be moving in from OOS as well and you're right - relocation costs are no joke
TEA is a very small airport. Nothing like DTW or anything. However, the good thing about it is that there are no huge crowds to deal with, so no long lines or delays. And access thru security is a breeze. On my recent visit back from Toledo, I arrived at TEA only 20 minutes before departure and I still made my flight.
The drive is about 15 - 20 min from school. Just come out the airport and make a right onto Airport Hwy, take that all the way to S. Byrne, make a right and then left on Arlington and you're on campus.
