Many students, heading home for Christmas, Easter or even the summer holidays, don’t want to be taking every piece of their college/university possessions with them or paying to keep an empty room while they’re away.
What’s Worth Storing
While clothes and your laptop are unlikely to be stored in your student storage, items like your bike, mini-fridges and stacks of textbooks are perfect for self-storage units. Bulky items such as lamps, bedding, kitchenware and more can also be stored here.
Timing Your Booking
We recommend you book a storage unit approximately 1-2 weeks prior to the end of term, as most storage facilities operate on short term contracts with no obligation to continue renting after the minimum term has ended.
Choosing the Right Unit Size
Most items will fit into a standard 25 to 35 square foot room, however, it’s worth bearing in mind that larger rooms may work out cheaper per person when split between flatmates.
How to Pack for Short-Term Storage
Use stackable boxes to fill the room such as small to medium sized boxes. Make sure you wrap up any breakable items such as ornaments in clothing or bubble wrap to prevent any damage. Make sure you label each box on the side of the box facing outwards so you can easily identify what is in the box when you go to retrieve your items when you return to university after your holiday.
