Between finals, move-out dates, and figuring out travel plans, the end of a college semester can be hectic. Whether you’re between school years or semesters, the last thing you want to worry about is what to do with all your stuff.
Fortunately, there’s a smart and stress-free solution: Arborstone storage.
Arborstone Storage helps college students stay organized and lighten their load by offering secure, affordable storage options. Here’s why renting a storage unit before your next break can save you time, money, and hassle.
1. Skip the Stress of Hauling Everything Home
If you’re an out-of-state or international student, taking everything back home for a short break is expensive and inconvenient.
Let’s face it: hauling furniture, storage bins, and heavy appliances only to bring them back in a few weeks or months doesn’t make much sense.
A local storage unit gives you peace of mind and saves you
-
- The cost of gas or shipping
- The risk of damage during transport
- The physical burden of heavy lifting
Plus, you’ll travel lighter—and enjoy your break without stressing about logistics.
2. Store What You’ll Need Again—But Not Right Now
Student life means having lots of stuff you need in your dorm or apartment—but not during the break. From small appliances to class supplies, it doesn’t make sense to toss or replace these items every term.
What’s perfect for student storage?
- Mini fridges, microwaves, and coffee makers
- Books, notebooks, and electronics
- Bedding, rugs, and futons
- Posters, wall art, and decorations
- Bicycles, musical instruments, and sports gear
- Clothing and seasonal wardrobe items
Don’t want to take it all with you—but also don’t want to rebuy it later? Storage is your sweet spot.
3. Split a Unit with a Roommate or Friend
Worried about cost? Search one of our many unit options, or look to store with a friend.
Many students choose to share a storage unit with a roommate or friend. This makes the already affordable month-to-month cost even more budget-friendly. You can each store your items securely while splitting both space and savings.
Pro tip: Make a quick inventory of what each person is storing, so it’s easy to split when it’s time to move back in.
4. Flexible Terms That Fit Student Schedules
Arborstone Storage knows that students need flexibility. That’s why we offer month-to-month rental agreements, whether you need to rent for a summer, or just a semester break.
Benefits of our flexible terms:
- No long-term commitment required
- Easy to extend if your plans change
- Quick move-in and move-out process
Plus, our range of unit sizes means you won’t overpay for space you’re not using.
5. Security You Can Trust
When you’re away from campus, you want to know your things are safe. Arborstone takes our security seriously.
Our facilities include:
- 6AM-10PM gated access with security monitoring

6. Stress-Free Storage for Every Kind of Student

- Heading home for summer break
- Studying abroad for a semester
