Most people find their college dorm rooms to be lacking in the kind of space they have at home. Not only that, but you often have to share what is available with a roommate. Rather than trying to get away with the bare minimum, renting a self-storage unit will allow you to keep your items nearby, switching out your belongings by season and need.

3 Ways Renting a Self-Storage Unit Makes College Life Easier

1. Store Items Just Taking Up Space

Many of your possessions—such as sports equipment or your sweaters—won’t be needed every day or at all times of the year. Rather than let them take up valuable space—or leave them inaccessibly far away at your parents’ house—you can keep them in storage. This way they are easy to fetch.

2. Avoid Moving Hassle

When most people move out for Christmas or summer break, they pack up everything they own and bring it back to their parents’ house, which could be miles or even states away. If you have enough belongings, this could involve renting a moving van, only to have to haul the items back next semester. Getting a local self-storage unit will save you this hassle and stress during your time off.

3. Make Your Parents Happy

In your absence, your parents may want to convert your room into a guest room, an office, or even a gym. Therefore, it can be a nice gesture to them to make sure your items don’t linger there unnecessarily during the school year.
