Why students use storage
Lugging everything home for the summer and back again is exhausting and expensive. A small storage unit keeps your things safe and local over the break — and ready for next term.
What size do students need?
Most students fit everything into a 20–35 sq ft unit: boxes, a bike, bedding and a few bits of furniture. Share with a flatmate to split the cost.
What to store over summer
- Bedding, kitchen kit and course materials
- A bicycle or sports equipment
- Furniture that won't fit in a shared house next year
Keep it cheap
Share a unit with friends, pack efficiently, and only store what you'll genuinely need again — storage isn't worth it for items you'd replace for less than a month's rent.
Student tip: Team up with flatmates and split a 35 sq ft unit — it holds everyone's summer gear and costs very little each.
