The Benefits of Student Storage for College

Between exams, housing changes, and travel, there’s a lot to handle when you’re in college. Whether you’re living in a dorm, renting off campus, or heading home for the summer, make moving to or from college easier with Compass Self Storage and our selection of student storage units.

Why Do College Students Use Self Storage?

Self storage helps students stay organized, save time, and eliminate back-and-forth trips. Every bit of storage space matters in your dorm room or apartment, which is why Compass Self Storage offers flexible options that match your needs and budget. Some of the many reasons students use self storage include:

  • Saving on moving costs. Instead of hiring movers to haul your belongings home for the summer, keep your furniture and sports equipment near campus.
  • Freeing up space at home. Instead of your parents’ basement with furniture and boxes, you can tuck your college essentials away in storage until next semester.
  • Staying organized on campus. If you play college sports, perform in the school band, or have a variety of hobbies, self storage gives you the extra room to keep your dorm or apartment uncluttered.

What Are the Benefits of Storage for College Students?

There are many benefits of renting student storage with our team, such as:

  • Month-to-month leases. You have flexibility for short-term storage between semesters or long-term storage during the school year.
  • Various unit sizes. Rent the space that fits your needs, from a 5×5 space for clothing storage to a 10×10 storage unit to pack up your entire apartment.
  • Climate-controlled storage. Confidently pack up electronics, textbooks, and bedding in the stable environment of climate-controlled storage.
  • Moving supplies for sale on-site. Your time matters when you’re a busy student, so grab extra packing tape or boxes from Compass Self Storage.

How To Use Self Storage After Graduation

The benefits of self storage don’t end when you graduate! Like many students, you may be between housing arrangements or moving for new jobs as your time at college wraps up. Whether you’re heading into your senior year or you’ve recently graduated, a storage unit allows you to stay packed and ready to move while you job hunt.
