Edinburgh Self Storage has the best student storage for summer. Why? Because we know our onions: students require a special kind of storage. We also know that lumbering mum and dad, friends, or lobbing all your stuff in some dark, dingy garage and hoping for the best is the worst thing you could do.
Each step of your university career requires different sizes of storage units and deals, although it’s a terrific backup to have right the way through your university life, given how much you’ll be on the move.
University is a bit like a conveyor belt, and your stuff can’t always keep up. But this is your stuff. It deserves respect. And with our new Bonnington Road branch in Leith, it couldn’t be more convenient to treat it right!
Are you off to university for the first time?
Leaving home is a biggie. Toodle-pip that familiar cosy environment as you become your own chief cook and bottle washer. Apart from anything else, there’s likely not going to be enough room in the car for all the stuff you’ve already accumulated on the day Mum and Dad drop you off. You might even be making your own way there? Let alone how much more you’re going to add to this even during a single term.
Bringing valuables, sentimental and otherwise, to a shared accommodation situation, perhaps, isn’t a good idea either. Plus, some of those rooms are just so tiny.
Were mum and dad already in between fighting back the tears picking out paint for the office or home gym your ex-room is set to become?
Get thee to Edinburgh Self Storage and be done with it.
Storage for students
Here at Edinburgh Self Storage, we’ve always had university student storage written into our constitution. Our beautiful city has been drenched in students since, well, you’re the student so you tell us! That’s why we have deals just for you that set us apart, especially when it comes to university summer storage. You can take out your unit for the whole of summer and not give your belongings a second thought.
Storage units for students
Our storage units for students are secure, dry, and clean, giving you complete peace of mind that all your stuff is safely stored away so that you can forget about term time and studies and instead focus on all that fun in the sun.
Working while living with parents
You might have to work in the holidays while moving in back home, and so you won’t be able to have all of your stuff around you because they likely simply don’t have room. It could end up in the shed and get ruined. Or, if you trust your friends to store it, prepare to never see it again. You probably won’t even know these people in a few years from now, but they’ll still have your stuff.
Summer travels or working abroad
Are you heading to become an Ibiza holiday rep? You don’t want to be worrying about what’s happening to your bed back in Blighty.
To know that all your stuff is safely under lock and key and nobody is going to be rifling through and pilfering it, i.e. your siblings, is well worth it. Many clothes have gone this way over the years. It’s also a mark of strong independence to be responsible for your belongings as soon as you leave home.
Are you switching accommodation between terms?
One minute you’re all cosy in your student digs, as they used to call it. Next, you’re out on your ear. Well, hopefully not. Point being, the winds of change whistle a little stronger through student houses. You might find yourself in temporary accommodation or having to move out of your old accommodation before the new one is ready, and if that is the case, then you’ll be glad of a self-storage facility like ours.
Taking a gap year
You can’t seriously think you can just spread your stuff among friends’ cupboards and stuff because the likelihood is that while you’re away, they’ll have accommodation-hopped several times, and your stuff will be well down their list of priorities. Sad but true. This gap will soon be filled with fun, but you will need something to sit on when you get back.
Keep a storage unit on the back burner
This all further strengthens the case of what a good idea it is to keep a small unit right the way through uni so that you always know you can shift stuff to it as and when. You might be surprised at how this could save you in the long run.
Sentimental storage
You only actually need one or two sentimental belongings from home, otherwise, you might find yourself cluttered or dwelling too much on the past. Plus bringing more than one teddy is embarrassing, frankly. It’s your bright future you should be thinking about. So get in touch with us today, and likewise if you’re a parent dreading the thought of anything being left behind and ruining your plans for your home of the future.
