Student Storage Deals: Find Clean, Reliable Storage Units Near Your Campus
May 2, 2018 | Storage Tips
Finding the best student storage deals is easy if you plan ahead. Procrastinate and finding cheap storage gets harder as summer approaches. Moreover, living in cramped quarters brings home the fact that there are only so many nooks, cubbies, and crannies to cram stuff into in a dorm room.
When faced with sharing a room, the big question is, “What do I do with all this extra stuff?” From a surplus of college books and university gear to clothes and kitchenware, it’s easy to accumulate more stuff than you have room for in your dorm room.
As the end of the school year approaches, you need to figure out how to get everything home—or, do you?
Last year, Yale University in West Haven received 30 tons of donations during Spring Salvage during their undergraduate move-out day. Yes, you read that correctly—30 tons of stuff! Students donated everything from housewares and furniture to clothes, books, and shoes.
While some Yale University students recycle their excess belongings many others from campuses across the country turn to storage units for students over the summer.
Whether you attend a private college campus or are a state schooler at the University of Tampa in Florida (Go Tampa Spartans!), student storage is certainly a popular and viable option.
