Six Reasons Why Students Need Storage Space
Are you a student considering putting your belongings into storage? Whether you’re getting a new year of university underway, enjoying a gap year, or an international student going home for the holidays, we’ve got the solutions you need.
Why You Might Need Storage
Self storage is the cost-effective, easy answer to reduce the stress of moving belongings between homes. Some of the many reasons students choose this option are:
1. Limited Space
University and a build-up of possessions go hand in hand. From Fresher’s Week merchandise to course books, things can pile up. When you live in a small uni house with lots of housemates, where do you put it all? Self storage can help, and you can save even more space by storing seasonal items – why not put winter clothes and blankets away during the spring and summer?
2. You’re an International Student
If the UK isn’t your first home, you can’t take everything back with you for the break. Self storage provides somewhere easy to stow whatever you can’t pack into your suitcase.
3. Keep Sports Equipment Safe
University is a great opportunity to try new things and continue existing hobbies. Do you have bulky sports equipment that you simply can’t fit into your university bedroom? Or, do you only need it handy for part of the year? Putting it in storage can take a weight off of your mind, knowing it’s both secure and out of the way.
4. You’re Going Away
Are you leaving for a gap year, internship or summer abroad? These can often have quick turnarounds. Your simple solution for keeping your belongings safe and ready for your return is using storage.
5. The Contract is Up
Your lease might end before the summer, but you’re coming back to uni next year. If you want to save cluttering your family home, self storage is a great option. You could even share with housemates to save money. And, this gives you more time to focus on finding your new accommodation and less on moving!
6. You’re Moving to Uni
