I'm graduating with a BA in English and Writing (also a native English speaker), and I agree with Columbine on this one--"into" is used for large entities, sort of taking over a certain perimeter, like a country. Moving "into" something is similar, in Hitler's case, to "invading" something. "To" is used for singular people or small groups who are just relocating without much ado. :P sorry to butt in!
