your property safely. Allow us to give some advice on how students should go around storing your stuff.Packing and Prep Work
Stack it Up- Make sure you stack your boxes and other containers correctly. Stack largest to smallest, and make sure not to put heavier boxes on top of lighter ones.
Back to Front- A distinct and easily avoidable issue, make sure to pack your items in your storage unit from back to front.
Get Some Help- see if you can get some help getting your things to the unit; also, if need be get help lifting and carrying heavier boxes.
Label it- For easier packing and unpacking purposes, make sure your boxes are correctly labeled.
Keeping the Cost Down
Get it Early- Book your storage unit early so you will not be competing with many other students that will likely be vying for a unit too.
Split it Up- Consider going in with another student to reduce the amount you will have to spend.
Fill Up- Pack your boxes efficiently, this will help reduce the amount of space that will be taken up.
How Much Space Will You Need?
Though this may be subject to change, generally speaking, due to the time spent at college means more stuff will need to be stored. Here are the sizes of the units most likely being of the best size for you.
Freshman- 5x5
Sophomore- 5x10
Junior- 5x15
Senior- 10x10
