Student life it’s full of many different stresses, and one stress in particular that rolls around each year is having to move all of your belongings in and out of your student accommodation for summer and the start of the new term.
Naturally, when your student accommodation contract ends for the summer you will need to take your belongings with you when you move out, typically with the intent of taking this back to your parent or guardian’s home. However, when you live a good few hours or more away from where you study, this can prove rather frustrating.
Thankfully, there is a more convenient option:
self storage. Read on below to learn more about the benefits of self storage.
Stress-free Start to the Summer
There’s no denying that packing up your belongings and transporting them to a self storage unit located in the same city as your university is much easier than having to transport them to a completely different location.
This is largely due to the fact that you can make multiple trips to move all your belongings, rather than having to try to fit everything into one vehicle for a long, cramped journey home. On top of that, you also won’t need to then unpack or find a place to keep your belongings again once home, instead you simply put them into the storage unit and leave them there!
This is an especially convenient option for international students, who won’t necessarily be able to take all of their household items with them if travelling home for the summer.
Share the Cost
Whether you’ll be living with the same peers next year or moving in with different friends, sharing a storage unit between the group of you not only means you all get to benefit from the convenience this offers, but you’ll also get to share the price.
Simply determine what size unit you think would be ideal to hold your combined belongings - with the aim of packing them all in as neatly and compactly as possible - then split the quoted price between you. This works out as more cost-effective than paying to just store your belongings alone.
Secure Belongings
By using reliable self storage services, you can rest assured that your belongings will be safe and secure until you’re ready to get them out again. They will be kept in a unit that contains solely your items and you will be the only person that has access to these through the use of a unique code or key to open the locking system or heavy duty padlock.
Most self storage facilities also feature 24/7 CCTV surveillance and will have security personnel in place.
