REASONS WHY STUDENTS COULD BENEFIT FROM SELF-STORAGE

Are you a student and finding it difficult to make space for your extra books and equipment? Perhaps you have taken up a hobby for when you are not studying, and your sports equipment is slowly taking over your room. Below are just some of the reasons a student can benefit from using self-storage.

Space has run out

As you look around your room, have you noticed less floor and workspace? If so, it is time to consider having a sort out. Trying to concentrate in a cluttered environment can be difficult. By choosing self-storage, you wont need to throw anything away, simply store it until you need the item again.

Avoid moving belongings between properties

Students tend to go back home every academic year. Sometimes they will return to their original accommodation, whilst other times they will be moving into a new home on return. Either way, you will want to avoid constantly moving your belongings with you. By choosing self-storage, you will have peace of mind that your possessions are safe.

Create space for a hobby

Being a student at University is a stressful journey, and you will no doubt need an outlet. Taking up a sport you enjoy will help take the pressure off, and give you something to do when you need a break from your books. Some hobbies come with bulky equipment. For example, you might enjoy kayaking. A kayak isn’t an item you can pop in the wardrobe. By choosing self-storage, you can safely store your equipment and take it out as and when you need it.

Keep your possessions safe

It is a strong possibility that starting University is the first time you have had to share a living space with somebody other than family. It is not unusual to be concerned about the safety of your property. It takes time to get to know your fellow students, and in the meantime, it would give you peace knowing your valuables are safe in self-storage.

Running an online business

Being a student can leave little time for anything else. Some students will have a part-time job to earn extra money. Online selling is a popular choice. Perhaps you sell on eBay or Etsy and have crafts that you make on-demand. Self-storage is the perfect solution to storing your stock between sales.

International students

There are over 40 higher education institutions in London, all of which have a good reputation. It is not unusual for students to travel from other countries to study, and on occasion want to return home for their holidays. By storing your possessions, you can avoid having to ship them home.

Cost effective storage solution

We understand that being a full-time student at University can be draining on your finances. Flexible Storage allows students to store their possessions at reasonable prices. Another option is to share the cost with your friends. They will also benefit from freeing up some space.

Students who have been affected by Covid-19

2020 has been an unprecedented time for everyone. People have been unable to work, and students have been put into lockdown all over the world. For some students, they were fortunate enough to return home, whilst others have had to remain in their student accommodation. This has been especially difficult for students who have travelled for their studies from overseas.

If you have decided to return home temporarily, by choosing self-storage, you won’t have to worry about transporting your belongings. They will be kept safe and secure, ready for when life starts to return to some form of normality.
