What Students Store

Furniture and mini fridges

Store dorm and apartment essentials like desks, chairs, shelves, and mini fridges during breaks or moves. Self storage keeps bulky items out of the way until you need them again.

Clothing and bedding

Seasonal clothes, extra shoes, comforters, and bedding can take up a lot of space fast. Storage makes it easy to rotate items between semesters without cluttering your living space.

Books, school supplies, and electronics

From textbooks and notebooks to laptops, monitors, and printers, storage helps keep academic essentials safe and organized when you’re moving, studying abroad, or heading home for the summer.

Bikes, sports gear, and musical instruments

Larger items like bikes, skateboards, sports equipment, and instruments don’t always fit comfortably in dorms or apartments. Storage gives them a secure place when they’re not in use.

Make Moving Between Semesters Easy

Student storage helps eliminate the stress of hauling items home or finding temporary space. Store everything safely and pick it up when school starts again.

Student Storage FAQS

Can I rent storage just for summer break?

Yes. Security Public Storage offers month-to-month rentals, which can be a good option if you only need storage for summer break. If you let us know your move-out date before your last payment goes through, we will prorate your move-out so you only pay for the time you need.

What size storage unit do college students usually need?

The right unit size depends on how much you are storing. Many students only need enough space for boxes, clothing, small furniture, and dorm or apartment essentials, while others may need more room for larger items like beds, desks, couches, or mini fridges. If you are not sure what size makes the most sense, we recommend using our storage calculator or calling the on-site manager at the Security Public Storage facility nearest you for help.

What do college students usually put in storage?

Students often use storage for furniture, mini fridges, clothing, bedding, books, school supplies, electronics, bikes, sports gear, and musical instruments. It can be a practical way to store dorm or apartment belongings during summer break, between semesters, while studying abroad, or during a housing transition.

Is student storage cheaper than moving everything home?

It can be. For many students, renting a storage unit for a short period can be easier and more affordable than hauling everything home, especially if you are storing furniture or larger items. Since Security Public Storage offers month-to-month rentals, student storage can be a flexible option when you only need space for a short time. Many of our facilities also offer U-Haul truck rentals, which can help if you do not have a vehicle large enough to move furniture or other bulky belongings.

Is student storage worth it for summer break?

For many students, yes. Student storage can save time, reduce the stress of moving, and make it easier to avoid hauling everything back home for a short break or asking your parents to temporarily accommodate all of your belongings. Month-to-month rentals also give you flexibility, and if you let the facility know your move-out date before your last payment goes through, we will prorate your move-out so you only pay for the time you need.

Can students use storage between semesters or while studying abroad?

Yes. Student storage can be a practical option between semesters, during housing transitions, or while studying abroad. It gives you a place to keep your belongings without needing to move everything home or find temporary space with friends or family. Many of our facilities also offer U-Haul truck rentals, which can make moving larger items much easier.
