Learn more about our self storage options for college students below!
COMMON REASONS FOR USING COLLEGE STORAGE
With small dorm rooms, having to move back and forth every year, or traveling for study abroad programs, it’s no wonder why college students use self storage. Here’s how self storage can help!
Lack of Space in Dorms
Though living on campus can be a fun college experience, dorm rooms do present unique challenges. Not only are they small with little to no storage space available, but there’s a chance you may have to share your room with one or more roommates. If you’re looking for ways to get more space in your dorm room, moving items you don’t need—like seasonal clothing or sporting equipment—to a storage unit can be helpful!
Summer Storage
Packing up everything from your dorm room to drive home over the summer and then back again in the fall can be a hassle. Instead of trying to overpack your car or renting an expensive moving truck to lug your belongings home, keep dorm room items in nearby self storage. That way, you can store all of your things close to your college campus so you don’t have to worry about the moving process come next school year!
Traveling or Studying Abroad
Getting the opportunity to travel or study in a foreign country is incredible, but what do you do with all of your stuff while you’re away? Instead of packing everything up and moving it home, consider renting a storage unit. Self storage has enough space to accommodate all of your dorm room furniture and belongings, and units can be rented on a month-to-month basis, so you can use storage for as little or as long as you need!
