Life as a college student is marked by transition. A college student’s life changes with the semester: new class schedule, new work schedule, new study buddy, and often, a new housing situation. A world that is always in flux can be challenging and stressful; the last thing a college student needs to worry about is what to do with their belongings while traveling home during break, spending a semester abroad, taking a summer internship in a different state, or moving into the “smaller-but-better-located” apartment. A cost effective, accessible, and secure option for storing your belongings during such transitions is to use a nearby self-storage facility.
