The end of the school year is fast approaching, which means it’s time to start thinking about packing up your dorm room and heading home. But instead of loading up all your belongings and lugging them away, invest in a storage unit. Having a place to stow your items over the break will benefit you in more ways than one. 

Advantages of Having a Storage Unit Near Campus

1. Make Moving Day Less Stressful

Packing up all your belongings and transporting them to a new location all in one day can be exhausting. This is even truer if the school is far away from home and you have to move all the items long-distance. Instead of overworking yourself, opt for a storage unit near the campus over the summer. This will simplify the moving out process, as you can gradually move items in the weeks leading up to the end of the semester. And because the unit will be close by, you can make multiple, easy trips. 

​​​​​​2. Avoid Cluttering Your Space Back Home

Once school is over, you’ll likely be left with more than you initially brought at the beginning of the year. Between shopping, gifts from friends, and memorabilia from college events, it’s easy to accumulate extra belongings. Rather than lugging all these items back home and cluttering your bedroom, opt to leave them in storage. Not only will you remain more organized, but your parents will be thankful to see a clean space.

3. Ensure You Don’t Forget Anything on Move-In Day

After a few months away from school, you might not remember what you need for dorm life. As hard as you try to replicate what you packed the year before, a few items will likely be left behind. However, by opting for a storage unit for the summer, this problem can be avoided.
