Every student renting a house or apartment is aware of the suffering endured during semester vacations. You get together, head home for a few weeks, then where do you store all of your stuff? Now let me introduce household storage space, the reasonably priced lifeguard for students whose bags already show at the zippers.
Imagine end of term chaos in which everyone piles books, scuttles about riding bikes, and uses boxes. Taking that futon back to your parents’ house just to pull it back when the following semester starts? Better still, keep soft bedding, winter coats, and project supplies in a covered ministorage unit and travel light. Most bedroom sized loads fall on a small unit say one or two square meters. Still exactly where you will need them next semester, your beloved beanbag chair and electric kettle.
Another advantage of security is that the risk is not worth your landlord allowing visitors roam about or double book your dorm room. Ministorage gets CCTV, sophisticated locks, and occasionally even fingerprint access. Sleep during break; your noise-cancelling headphones are nowhere.
Allow us now to review expenses. Every cent seems to be pinchable to students. Most facilities happily offer temporary leases; just pay for the period you are away for. Look for student sales, flash discounts, or loyalty perks. Also excellent leisure free of travel concerns. Many of the facilities follow academic campuses or main transit centers. Some even help movers or offer a shuttle service, therefore lessening the soul crushing effect of drop-off and pickup.
Oh, also avoid simply throwing anything into trash bags when packing. Store delicate objects on top and quickly inventory each using strong boxes. Some silica packs aid with any unexpected wetness, particularly in Hong Kong with its notorious humidity. Coming home for a break need not be a juggling act. Spend family time safely storing your tools, then return free from moving-day concern next term. Every college student’s backstage pass is ministorage.
