With the fall semester in full swing, it’s time to take your belongings out of your student storage unit now that you’re likely settled into a schedule. If you have time to organize your space on the weekends, it’s best to visit your unit during these times to avoid overwhelming yourself when unpacking. Consider a few tips below for making the process go smoothly. 

How to Unpack Your Student Storage Unit 

1. Unpack Larger Furniture 

It’s important to have a desk and a comfortable chair in your apartment so you can study. Unpack these items first and set them up to make your space more organized and functional. Next, unload the couch or futon to further customize your living area. Finally, take end tables, coffee tables, or accent chairs and bookshelves out to clear the bulk of the storage unit. 

2. Focus on the Details 

Next, decide which personal items you want to have in your space. This may include paintings, posters, photographs, figurines, and decorations. Be extremely careful with mirrors or anything breakable. If possible, keep them wrapped safely in bubble wrap or newspaper until you’ve transferred them from the storage facility to your room. 

3. Take Seasonal Items Out 

Go through your clothes and decide what you’ll need for the fall. You most likely won’t need heavy coats yet, so focus on long-sleeved tops, jeans, leggings, and button-down shirts. Hoodies are best for staying comfortable without getting too warm. Make sure to have an umbrella handy, as well as rain boots. To prepare for the fall weather, take out blankets and extra comforters just in case you get chilly one evening.
