Why store near school instead of hauling it home?
Every May, students pack a car or rent a van, drive everything home, and drive it all back in August. If home is far away, that’s two long trips with a loaded vehicle. A unit a few minutes from campus turns it into two short ones.
It also helps when housing doesn’t line up: a lease that ends in May when the next one starts in August, a semester abroad, or a summer internship in another city.
What do students store?
- Apartment furniture: bed frames, mattresses, desks, couches
- Mini fridges, microwaves and fans
- Bikes
- Off-season clothes, bedding and boxes of books
A 17 × 10 has room for an off-campus apartment’s furniture plus boxes. Compare unit sizes.
Packing tips for summer storage
- Clean and dry the mini fridge and prop the door open slightly so it doesn’t get musty.
- Pack bedding and clothes in plastic bins with lids instead of cardboard.
- Take apart bed frames and desks and tape the hardware in a bag to each piece.
- Label boxes by room so move-in day in the fall goes fast.
- Put what you’ll need first by the door.
For parents
Parents often handle the rental, and that works fine. Call or text (215) 888-0468, take a quick tour, and we’ll set you up on our online portal for monthly rent. The gate is open 24/7, so late-night arrivals after a long drive aren’t a problem. Your rate is locked for 12 months, which covers a full school year and the summer after it. Here’s how renting works.
