Making the Most of Secure Storage Containers as A Uni Student

Whether you’re currently a student, or you’re heading to university in September, secure storage containers can be a massive help with all your belongings. Store That wanted to talk about the best ways to make the most of a storage unit as a student, as you prepare for your next step at university. 

Moving Around in the Summer

Even if you’re not a new uni student, secure storage containers can help you! Many student accommodations and student houses don’t allow you to stay in the property over the summer. This means having to cart all your belongings back home with you for a few months, only to bring them all back at the start of the new term. To eliminate the stress of having to do this at the end of every year, why not look into renting a storage container? Having access to this will allow for ease and you won’t have to worry about squeezing it all in the car and driving for ages, packed in with all your belongings!

Living Abroad for a Year

Some universities offer the chance to study abroad for a year as part of the course. Despite covid having halted many of these opportunities, they are starting to resurface. It might not be ideal for you to move your things back home as parents can often turn rooms into studies or spare rooms. Using secure storage containers will mean you have a safe space to house your belongings for a year, without getting in the way of your parents. 

International Students

As an international student, you won’t want to bring all the belongings you’ve accumulated over the years back to your home country with you. This is expensive, time consuming and just an all-round lengthy process. Instead of worrying about this, use secure storage containers to keep your things in, over the summer whilst you are back home. This way, you don’t have to bother friends and ask to store your stuff with them. Plus, you will feel comfortable knowing that even though you are not in the country, your things are safe. Store That’s storage facilities have 24 hour CCTV surveillance and an in house security team for extra security! 

Sharing a Unit with Friends 

If you don’t have that much to store, but you live with other students in a house or a flat, it can be beneficial to share storage over the summer. This will keep the cost down for you and also ensure that even if you have few belongings, you aren’t needing to cart them home with you, or worry about wasting space in an individual rented unit!
