As
a student, you might frequently come in need of more storage options for your
belongings. Whether you’re travelling for the holidays or decluttering your
apartment, extra storage options could come of use now and then. With
self-storage, you can get the exact amount of extra space needed near you for
as long as you want.
Here
are handy self-storage tips that can make your student's life much easier.
What do
you need to store?
Before
you begin assessing your storage options, first figure out what you’ll need to
store – both in the short and long run. If you don’t see yourself storing
any more than a few boxes over the long run, you can comfortably settle for a
small unit. But if you think your storage needs will grow over time – more study
materials, sports gear, and clothing, then perhaps you should opt for a unit
that’s slightly larger than your current needs.
Create a
declutter plan
When
considering what to send out to storage, ask yourself if there’s a better way
to deal with it. Is it really worth keeping? Or is it something you could flip
for some extra dollars? Consider giving out items you haven’t used in quite a
while – old clothing, unused gifts, etc.
Consider
your local Storage King
There’s a very good chance you’ll find a Storage King close by. If you don't have one close enough to home, then try one close to any location you visit frequently, somewhere you could always stop by while going for your regular rounds.
Speak with your local Storage Consultant
Storage King has storage consultants who can provide you advice on what storage unit sizes you will need, the optimum way to store your items, how to pack those items and options on how to get the items to your storage space.
