Tips for Moving and Storing Valuables

Child Heading to College? 5 Reasons to Rent Them a Storage Unit

Is your child headed off to college? Then you may want to consider renting them a storage unit. Here are a few of the important reasons a storage unit can make their college experience easier and better. 

1. They Get Locked Storage

If your child will be living in campus housing along with roommates, securing their stuff could be difficult. College students have more valuables with them today than prior generations, and they'll need a place to keep these safe. Locked storage units are simple, easy, and freely accessible vaults no matter what your kid needs to lock up. 

2. It's Local Storage Between Dorms

Dorm dwellers often have to pack up between semesters or school years even when they know they'll be back. Rather than haul all their stuff home every time, they could keep it locally in a secure self-storage unit. Your work is lightened and their transitions are easier. 

3. They Have Privacy

Campus life doesn't come with a lot of privacy, especially if your student will have roommates. But everyone needs a safe space and privacy. A small storage area can give them this privacy, regardless of whether they want to hide their secret stuffed animal collection or prevent their roommates from using their workout equipment. 

4. It Keeps the Dorm Organized

Dorms and shared apartments fill up quickly. They can also become a mess quickly when students are trying to live their life and attend complex classes. The storage unit gives your child extra space to put stuff they don't immediately need. It can take the overflow, allowing everyone to enjoy their rooms with less clutter and less conflict. 

5. It's a Workspace

Finally, the extra, empty space in any storage unit can help students find something that's often lacking when they live on- or off-campus — a place to work free of distractions. Whether they need to put together a project or pore over their thesis, the best place to do this is in a quiet environment away from all the activities of college life. A storage unit can easily fill this void and help your child focus on the work they need to do.

Which of these benefits could your child use most when they're away at school? No matter whether they need extra space, security, or a work area, a storage unit is an easy solution. Learn more by touring a storage unit facility near campus today.
