You don't want your storage facility to be too far from your school. A convenient location will make both moving in and out easier. A centralized and safe location may be ideal.

Just because you are a college student doesn't mean that your property and valuables aren't precious. Choose a storage facility with solid security. Ideally, you want your storage facility to have cameras, proper lighting, security on-site, and a security gate. Be sure not to share your key or access code with anyone you do not trust 100%.

Pack the items you will be storing away carefully. Be sure to organize your items sensibly and label all of your containers and boxes. Using clear rubber containers can help you identify your items as well. You want everything to be easy to find and in good condition when you are unpacking in your new dorm room.

Be sure accessing your unit will be safe, easy, and convenient. You may want to choose a facility with 24/7 access so that you can choose the times best for you to visit your unit and access your items. Also, be sure the storage facility offers month-to-month options for short-term storage rental.
