Stay budget-friendly and protect personal items—plus take advantage of easy access to your stuff whenever you need it. Check out iLockStorage’s variety of units to find a student storage solution that help you stay organized!
For college students, particularly those traveling far or studying internationally, shipping costs can add up. But when you seek a secondary space to hold onto your items as you travel in between semesters, you can dodge expensive shipping fees and keep all your items secure. By renting a self storage unit, you can safely store all your belongings at a storage facility located close to your campus. Holding onto that storage space long-term creates an easily accessible area for your belongings away from shared dorms and communal residence hall rooms.
Renting a long-term storage unit provides the security that may be lacking in joint college spaces. With front gate access codes and personal locks on units, only the tenant has access to their belongings. This alleviates the worry of leaving personal items in a living area where multiple people might have access. With a long-term storage unit, a student’s possessions remain under their control.
iLockStorage features security cameras and on-site managers at our Greenville, NC, facility that keep an eye on the grounds daily.
For many students, academic success is closely tied to their environment. Having a neat, well-organized space is conducive to productive study sessions as well as getting rest and recovery. Students can effectively manage their living space by renting a small storage unit, freeing their residence of unnecessary clutter. By clearing out less frequently used items out of your living space and tucking them away into storage, students can create a cozy arrangement in their dorms.
Even if a student chooses to rent their storage space year-round, self storage can be an affordable solution on a student budget. iLockStorage offers a wide selection of different storage options, so tenants can customize their experience to cater to their needs. If you only need a small space for a short period of time, we can make that happen—as well a long-term solution for a large load. Our storage calculator is an excellent tool that can recommend an appropriate storage size based on your list of items.
