Summer Storage for College Students: The Stress-Free Way to Handle Your Stuff
Summer is finally here! After a busy year of making friends, acing exams, and adjusting to dorm life, it’s suddenly time to move out—again. You might be wondering: "Do I really have to pack everything up and haul it back to my parents' house for the summer?"
Thankfully, there's a much easier solution: summer storage for college students. Renting a storage unit from Storage Rentals of America is a simple, affordable way to store your belongings safely over the summer. Here’s why so many students are choosing this option—and why you should too.
Why College Students Should Consider Summer Storage
Moving your stuff back home might seem logical at first, but it quickly becomes a hassle. Here are some practical reasons why summer storage just makes more sense:
Skip the Multiple Trips
Let’s face it, moving is exhausting—especially when it means multiple trips back and forth to your parents' house. Summer storage means you pack your dorm items once, store them safely nearby, and easily retrieve them when school starts again. Your back (and your parents’ cars) will thank you!
Protect Your Stuff
You probably have items that need special care, like electronics, instruments, or textbooks. Storage Rentals of America offers safe, climate-controlled units. With security features like cameras, gated access, and good lighting, your belongings will stay secure and in great condition until you return.
Easier Move-In Next Semester
Returning to school in the fall is stressful enough. With summer storage, you won’t have to lug heavy boxes and furniture from home to campus again. Everything will be waiting nearby, making your next move-in day faster, easier, and way less stressful.
Keep Your Parents Happy (and Their House Clean)
Your parents love seeing you—but maybe not all your dorm furniture and boxes piled in their living room. Storing your belongings locally keeps their home clutter-free, making your summer visits more relaxing and enjoyable for everyone.
Choosing the Right Storage Unit Size
Not sure how much space you'll need? Here’s a simple guide:
Small (5x5): Perfect for Minimalists
If you have a few boxes, clothes, and smaller belongings, a 5x5 storage unit (about the size of a small closet) will easily accommodate everything.
Medium (5x10): Ideal for Furniture & Larger Items
Have a futon, bed frame, mini-fridge, or larger items? Choose a 5x10 unit (similar to a walk-in closet). You’ll have enough space to store larger furniture and stack smaller boxes neatly on top.
Larger Units for Roommates or Groups
Sharing storage with friends is a smart way to save money. A slightly bigger unit, like 10x10, provides plenty of room for multiple students. Splitting the cost makes storage even more budget-friendly.
Still unsure? Storage Rentals of America provides an easy online storage calculator and helpful storage experts who’ll gladly recommend the perfect unit size for you.
Who Really Benefits from Summer Storage?
