Storing stuff is always an issue for college students. During the school year, as they move off to the dorms or other student housing, they need to store possessions they do not want to bring to school. During the summer break, they need to store stuff they used at college but don’t want to bring home.
So what’s the solution? Work with Epic Storage. We understand the unique storage needs of college students, and we also know that college students sometimes have limited cash. With our cost-effective, convenient, and secure storage solutions, we offer a lifeline to students looking for a hassle-free way to store their belongings.
Storage for Personal Belongings from Home
Many students go to college out of town or even out of state. That means leaving behind cherished belongings – sometimes personal items, but other times more significant assets. Epic Storage offers a secure space for storing these personal possessions, giving students peace of mind while they’re away. Here are some items that students might choose to store from home:
- Memorabilia: As you grow up, you can acquire a lot of sentimental items like photo albums, trophies, childhood toys, personal collections, and decorations that hold significant emotional value. You might not feel like leaving them out for younger siblings to get into or for parents to discard or put away in the garage. By storing these items with Epic Storage, students can rest assured that their memories are safe and protected.
- Seasonal Gear: Sports equipment, camping gear, formal wear, and other occasional-use items can occupy substantial space. Instead of leaving this stuff in the garage or bringing it along to clutter up your dorm room, you can store these items, ready to be retrieved whenever needed.
- Extra Furniture: If students are already living independently before heading to school, they will often have furniture and furnishings that must be stored. If they are living at home, they may still want to store some personal furnishings like gaming chairs, desks, and bedding.
- Vehicles: Bringing your vehicle to school is not always convenient or desirable, particularly for students traveling a long way to school. If you want to protect your car from the elements and from theft or break-ins, you can store your car, motorcycle, scooter, bicycle, or boat! They will remain safe and secure until your return.
Storage for College-Related Items
When the school year wraps up, students often find themselves burdened with various college-related items that are impractical to transport back home for the summer. Here are some of the types of things that college students can store near their college so that they are easily accessible when the school year begins:
- Furniture: Many students acquire microwave ovens, mini-fridges, bedding, pillows, and other items that are only needed during the school year. Renting a storage unit allows you to safely store these items until the next academic year so you don’t have to ship or lug them home with you and so that they are ready and waiting for you when you return.
- Textbooks and Study Materials: At school, it is easy to accumulate books, course notes, supplies, and study materials throughout the year. With a storage unit, you can securely keep your academic resources organized and readily accessible whenever needed.
- Seasonal Clothing and Sporting Equipment: If you do certain things at school that you do not do at home, it makes sense to keep your “college stuff” near where you go to college rather than bring it home. If you have an electric scooter, sports equipment, or other gear you need at school but don’t need over the summer, leave it in storage. Epic Storage provides a convenient solution, allowing you to rotate seasonal items easily.
- Electronics: From laptops and printers to gaming consoles and speakers, college students rely heavily on electronics for their academic and recreational activities. A storage unit ensures the safety and security of these valuable devices during the summer break.
