Student Storage Services
If you’re studying away from home, going on a gap year or taking your third year abroad, student storage can seem like a great solution when trying to figure out what the heck you’re going to do with all your stuff.
But, while student storage is a great way to manage your belongings and travel hands-free, there are some drawbacks…
Disadvantages Of Student Storage
There are two main drawbacks to student storage – the first is the set time limit. When booking student storage, you will have to choose a set amount of time for your belongings to be kept in the unit. If that time limit expires and you have not yet collected your belongings, you may face additional fees and charges.
The second drawback is something seemingly insignificant, which can become a major impracticality; after booking student storage and travelling home at the end of term, many students come to realise that they have forgotten something crucially important and now have no way to collect it. This can be quite an inconvenience.
Thankfully, there are some excellent alternatives to student storage, which provide you with all the benefits and overcome the aforementioned impracticalities.
