If you are a student on your way to college or university it is sometimes difficult to decide where to keep your stuff. You do not want to leave it at your parent’s house as your little brother might go and play with all of your rare collectibles and break them, as an example. You definitely do not want to take them on campus with you or to your dorm room as one wrong drunken step and that rare star wars promotional bust is history!

Yes, storage has always been a big issue with many students. Today thousands of new students, just moving in to their campus homes, and old students, moving in to their second or third student accommodation are using self storage facilities up and down the country. It is affordable even for those who have nearly no money, which let’s face it is in the job description of becoming a student.

Whilst the starting rate per week would normally be somewhere around $8.00, students, on production of valid student identification, can be offered a discount of up to $3.50, making the average price per week $4.50! There could be further discounts if you pay for the whole semester in advance. All in all, students get a very good and fair deal on almost any sized storage unit.

This will give any student the peace of mind they need to get on with their studies. The individual customer is the only person with a key to his or her rented unit, so nobody in the world can easily steal or damage your precious goods. The buildings are securely locked at night and patrolled by security guards, sometimes with guard dogs.
