Time flies – just a few months ago, you began another college semester, now we are in March, and summer break will be fast approaching as the months quickly wind down. If you are a first, second or third-year student, summer break presents a unique challenge – most colleges require students to clear out of their dorms every single summer. The challenge of moving demandsphysical assistance, transportation, packing equipment, and time – and some or all of these require money! Self storage can alleviate many of these worries.
If your plan this coming summer is to return home, and you attend a college near your home, in the same city, in the next town or even a few towns over, it’s likely that your parents, or other family members will be helping you make the move with Uncle So-and-So’s van or some other such arrangement.
If you live at quite a distance from your college campus(say you are from California attending a Texas university)the prospect of moving may be an even bigger challenge.One typical option is to pack up your items and ship them home ahead of yourself – the idea of driving across several states in a U-Haul two times every summer is beyond unreasonable!
Self storage is an ideal option for both these kinds of students. If you go to school close to home, you can still significantly alleviate the burdens of moving by renting a storage facility near your school. This way, you won’t have to lug home items you know you won’t be needing or using in the summer. Storing most of your belongings in the storage unit leaves you free to grab your clothes and bare essentials and go. And moving in for fall semester will be plenty easier.
If you live far from school, the advantages of self storage are even greater – self storage provides a functional solution to the great problem of distance. While you are on a plane back to your home town with great visions for how you are going to have a marvelous summer, you can rest easy knowing your belongings are safely stored away, waiting for you to return in the fall.
If your plans are to stay in town this summer, grab a summer job or internship, or some other equally inspiring endeavor, self-storage will help you navigate your new temporary living arrangements.
