A dorm room is a great place to
find oneself, develop new friendships, and fully experience college life. It is
not a good place to store large amounts of material. A lot of students do not
even consider college storage options when planning their education. They go
away to school and bring far too many things with them for the limited space
available. Nothing is quite as awkward as showing up as a new freshman with two
trunks, a dresser, a stereo, a computer, a television and DVD player, a bicycle,
and a bookcase only to find out you are sharing a 12 x 12 space with someone
else who brought the same items. This is why student storage is such a great
option. Instead of sending it all back home, you can choose the really
important things to keep in the room and store the rest.
In New York, even if a student finds off campus housing, space is at a premium.
Large, roomy apartments are generally beyond a student's means so student
storage is the best option. It is far easier and cost effective to live in a
smaller apartment and secure a student storage space. Even after the semester
is over, students can find affordable space for summer storage. Who wants to do
back breaking work schlepping everything home for the summer only to have to
schlep it back to school again the following fall? Summer storage is available
at many locations throughout New York.
New York student storage businesses know their clientele and provide
inexpensive solutions for student storage, summer or otherwise. Most students
must think inexpensively when searching for storage solutions. Some companies
offer campus college storage options for those students who want the most
convenience. Campus summer storage also makes sense since two roommates can
share the cost of a slightly larger unit when they head home after exams rather
than pay for two units or even two separate college storage companies.
Companies that offer New York student storage charge differently for storage.
Some will simply rent you a space in which you can store your items, while
others will charge you per item stored. Ensure you know the New York student
storage company's policies and costs before you engage in their services. If
you need the company to pick up your things, make sure you know the costs
involved, if any. Many companies will pick up and deliver your things for free.
These would make the best choice for cash-strapped students. If you are going
to share the space, make sure the other person involved is agreeable to the
terms of the storage. If you and your summer storage partner are at odds, it
will go badly if you act without his or her approval. Simple courtesy will go a
long way in alleviating most college storage problems.
The last thing to consider when using New York student storage is insurance. Even
the most conscientious company will have accidents or other failures which
might damage your stored goods. This is especially true for summer storage
options when you will be absent for several months. Shop around for the best
price, though, and be sure you and your storage partner understand all clauses
involved before buying.
