As a college student you might be wondering what the hell you could possibly use a storage facility room for. Well my friends I am here to tell you if you give um a chance you could probably make your life a hell of a lot easier.
There are few things as miserable as the end of semester move-out rush. You realize that the four game systems you gradually moved to your dorm from home, the twenty posters, your book collection, tv, and the stop sign you found won't fit in your car. Even worse is the knowledge that even though you'll be packing your car to a dangerous brim -to the point where you can't even see over the stuff in your back seat- that in a matter of three months you'll just have to move this stuff back.
The solution my friends is simple. Get storage. Even better: Get storage with some friends. Between three people the cost of storage nose-dives and become a manageable expense. The thing is you can get away with only having a small 5x5 room, and given the large amount of vertical space you're given, fit quite a lot of stuff. The cheapest facilities I've found in my personal experience are http://www.storagedeluxe.com/ ones.
The most obviously manageable and easiest way to store your stuff is placing them in cardboard boxes and then more importantly: labeling them. Every bit of organization counts in the often chaotic, dishevelled life of the college student.
For God's sakes if there is one other thing that will make this process easier it's not waiting until the last minute to do it. I've had a terrible experience loading stuff into my facility an hour and a half after the dorms have closed, thankfully managing to get back in to get the rest of my stuff. It doesn't matter if you use a facility or not, pack most of your stuff way ahead of time.
