College Student Storage Near University of St. Thomas in 77007

Why Use College Student Storage

Summer Storage

If you’re an out-of-state student, getting your belongings to and from school each year can be a hassle. Instead of renting a moving truck, rent a storage unit near campus for a faster, less stressful move at the end of the school year.

Studying Abroad

Before leaving on your study abroad trip, get a storage unit to keep your dorm belongings protected and near campus to make moving back quick and easy.

Living Off Campus

If you live off campus, you’ll have to pay more for more apartment space. Instead of paying higher rent each month, opt for a smaller apartment and rent a storage unit to hold infrequently used belongings.

How to Save Money on College Student Storage

Look for Discounts

Some storage facilities have online discounts when you reserve a unit through their site. Others may offer money off your first month’s rent or a discount for being a student.

Shop Around

Don’t settle on the first storage facility you look at. Each facility has different prices, so it’s best to compare a few options before settling on a storage unit.

Rent Early

Storage facilities may increase prices around times of high demand, like the end of the semester. Starting your search a few weeks earlier to save money and find a unit closer to campus.

Get a Good Unit Size

Don’t rent a larger unit size than you need. 5×5 and 5×10 units are similar to a walk-in closet and can handle most college storage needs. If you need to store the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, including living room and bedroom furniture, go up to a 10×10.

Climate-Controlled Storage for Summer

Houston summers are hot and humid. Your belongings could get damaged if not kept in the proper environment. Be sure to rent climate-controlled storage over the summer if you’re storing any of the following:

• photos, artwork, books
• musical instruments
• TVs, gaming consoles, computers and laptops, hard drives
• fabric/leather couches or recliners
• mattresses and box springs
• wooden tables, chairs, dressers
