Each spring American University students have to pack up their dorm room or apartment to move home. Instead of packing items to go back home to take up space in a basement or garage; a great college storage idea would be to consider renting a self storage unit for the summer break. Most self storage facilities will offer month-to-month rentals that are perfect for college student storage. Storing your personal belongings in a self storage unit gives you piece of mind that your belongings are safe and secure and ready to be used again when school starts up in the fall. In some cases, storing the items in self storage could be a much better solution for the student if they don’t have a way to transport their belongings back and forth from home to school.
Over the course of the school year, the American University student has accumulated more and more “stuff”. There are items that can be placed in at a storage facility near American University and then easily accessed a few months later. These items would include linens, pillows, comforter, plates, glasses and other kitchenware, books, binders and folders and winter clothes. Placing college apartment furniture such as couches, dressers, mattresses and tables is also a great idea.
ezStorage has a facility that is just a five minute drive from American University in Bethesda. American University students can easily transport their items to the facility for storage.
