College students have enough on their plates, lack of space shouldn’t be one of them! 📚
Urban Self Storage supports students with storage options that fit college lifestyles with month-to-month rentals, convenient locations, and student-friendly pricing 🎉
After finding a storage facility near campus, you may wonder what size unit you’ll need 🤔 Here are a few that we recommend:
📦 5’ x 5’
A great starting point for most students. This size can hold several boxes, a mini fridge, small furniture, and personal items like clothes or bedding
📦 5’ x 10’
Able to hold the contents of an entire dorm room or a small studio apartment
📦 10’ x 10’ or 10’ x 15’
If you plan to share a unit with a friend or roommate, which is a great way to save on costs, these sizes offer plenty of space. They can comfortably fit beds, desks, sofas, multiple sets of a boxes, and more
Choosing the right size can help you avoid overpaying for unused space or underestimating how much you’ll need 💯
