A lot of major changes can take place in the few years you are on your campus.

Residence halls rarely come with spacious storage areas, so renting a budget-friendly storage unit can be a saving grace for students. Tuck away textbooks from old classes, snow sports gear that won’t see use until winter, seasonal clothing, and so much more. These kinds of items do not need to be using up valuable space in your dorm or apartment.

Self storage offers an affordable solution for college students, whether short-term or throughout the year. The ability to choose from different unit sizes means students only need to pay for the space that truly matches their needs. This budget-conscious approach helps students stash and run—able to focus on their rest and academic work, rather than being sidetracked by storage problems during semester breaks. We have online resources to help! Our storage calculator can suggest the ideal storage unit size for your belongings.
