Based on our 20 years of experience, the students fall into one of these 4 categories:

1) Students who live in the dorm and have the typical contents of a dorm room (a few boxes, plastic containers, a computer, a mini-frig, microwave, books, comforter, pillows, etc. but do not have big furniture can use our smallest and least expensive space! This is a 4’ x 4’ x 4’ (length/width/height). Based on our experience this is the perfect size and favorite for the student who just moved out of the dorm. Click this link to see the video!

2) Students who live in the dorms, but want to share or go in on a storage unit together. This category is for students who still live in the dorms and have the typical contents mentioned above, but want to share a unit. This is a great option, just remember you will need a little extra space and that there is a one-time $20 charge (for the entire summer) for each person sharing the unit. For these students we recommend our 4’ x 6’ x 4’ upper, or the 6 x 6 x 4 upper. These units have worked out great for students sharing a unit. Click here to see the video!

3) Students who have some furniture (may just be a futon, mattress, desk, chair, couch, etc.). If you have a piece or two of furniture this category is for you! A unit that is slightly larger, and has a higher height dimension is needed for any furniture. For these students we have the perfect size and recommend a 4’x 4’ x 8’ lower level, or 4’ x 6’ x 8’ lower level.

4) If you don’t fit into any of the above-mentioned categories – this one’s for you! So don’t worry if you’re moving out of a multi bedroom house or apartment – we have over 35 other sizes to satisfy your storage needs. Our goal is to rent you just the right amount of space to satisfy your need without going over! Call or email us direct at (305) 251-9872 / Kendall@XtraStorageCompaniesFL.com and we’ll help you assess the perfect size!
