Between schedules that change each semester, compact living spaces, and last-minute moving arrangements, college life can be a lot to manage logistically. This is especially true when juggling classes, other responsibilities, and trying to maintain a healthy social life.
Acorn Mini Storage® is here to help make your college years one of the best times of your life. We offer convenient, secure student storage units with options available to suit any schedule or budget. Renting from us gives you a reliable place to keep your things tucked away out of sight until you need them again.
Reasons To Rent Student Storage
Whether you’re a freshman navigating your first move or a senior gearing up for life after graduation, renting a student storage unit can be a smart investment during life’s many transitions. Student storage gives you the freedom to move, travel, or take on new opportunities without dragging all your belongings along for the ride. Keep reading for info on a few common uses.
Moving Between Apartments
When moving between dorms or off-campus apartments, your lease dates may not always line up. If you’re caught between rentals, you don’t want to have to haul everything home or fill up your friend’s living room with boxes. Having a student storage unit gives you a secure spot to stash your stuff while you transition between living arrangements or land in your first apartment after graduating.
Traveling Home for Break
When the semester ends and it’s time to head home, the last thing you want to have to do is cram all your belongings into your car or suitcases. Investing in a storage unit near campus allows you to keep your things close by without the hassle of moving everything back and forth. Enjoy your break without worrying about where your mini fridge or futon will fit by renting from us!

What Size Storage Unit Do I Need?
A 5×5 mini storage unit can fit simple possessions, such as clothing, boxes, and a few small pieces of furniture. If you’re storing larger things like a mattress set, desk, or multiple room furnishings, a 10×10 storage unit might be a better fit. For roommates renting a storage unit together, consider scaling up to a 10×20 or 10×30 space.
