Before you rush off to a local self storage facility, did you know that many colleges and universities offer storage services right on campus?

having your belongings safely stored just steps away from your dorm room or campus housing.

Be super-efficient by packing as efficiently as possible. It will save space and reduce the risk of damaging items. Label the boxes and create an inventory list so you don't forget what you have stored.
Most good storage companies sell high quality boxes and packaging - using sturdy boxes designed for the job will pay off as you can stack them efficiently and they won't fall apart.
Remember to put the heavy item at the bottom of boxes and don't overfill - remember you have to carry them. Having said that, if you are planning on storing luggage you may as well use it to store other items to save space.
Get good cloud storage and use it. Anything you can do to avoid the need for storing paperwork, hard drives, DVDs will save you space and money.
Make sure you use a reputable storage company that has controlled access, alarmed units, CCTV, and individual locking units. Don't cut corners on security.
With some good planning, that isn't left until the last minute, students can store their stuff over the summer safely and without breaking the bank.
