5 reasons for renting a unit while studying!

  • Moving into a tiny room – If your room is smaller than you thought, a storage unit near your campus can be the perfect extension of your room.
  • Accumulating stuff – Do you have way more stuff than at the beginning at the year? We’ve been there! Whatever you can’t fit in your room, you store!
  • Enjoying new hobbies – Being a student means trying out new hobbies or sports. And some of these equipment can take up a lot of space! So why not keep that mountain bike or canoe in storage?
  • Worried about security in a shared house – You won’t always know all your housemates’ friends, so keeping some things in storage can be reassuring.
  • Moving home for the summer – No need to move all your belongings out of your room every year. There is a better way! Simply store your stuff at Shurgard during the summer months.
