Student Storage

University is exciting enough without spending extra time working out where to keep your belongings, especially when your halls room feels smaller than expected. Whether you need space between student house moves, somewhere to store your things over the summer holidays, or a secure place for boxes, bedding and books during term time, Big Yellow Self Storage can help. We offer flexible student storage units in a range of sizes, with short and longer term options to suit your plans.

Student storage for summer holidays

Summer storage for students is ideal when you need to move out of halls or rented accommodation but do not want to take everything home. You can store boxes, bedding, books, kitchenware, clothes, sports kit and small furniture for as little or as long as you need. Our storage units for students are available in a range of sizes, so you only need to pay for the space that suits your belongings. Whether you are storing a few suitcases or the contents of your room, our team can help you choose a suitable unit.

Moving between student houses

Tenancy dates do not always line up neatly. If you have a gap between moving out and moving in, student self storage gives you a safe place to keep your things until your next room is ready. You can move in when it suits you, access your storage unit 7 days a week and keep your belongings secure while you sort the rest of your move.

What size storage unit do students need?

The right storage unit size depends on what you need to store. A locker may be enough for a few bags, suitcases or boxes. A small storage unit is better for bedding, books, kitchenware and clothes. If you need to store furniture or the contents of a shared room, a larger unit may be more suitable.

Our storage unit size guide can help you compare storage unit sizes before you book. You can also speak to your local Big Yellow team for practical advice.

Secure storage for your belongings

Your belongings matter, so security is built into every Big Yellow store. Our student storage units are clean, dry and secure, with secure access from your phone or PIN code access, CCTV monitoring and staff on site during opening hours.

Each customer has their own storage space, so you can pack, lock and access your unit with confidence.

You can then pack your belongings, move them into storage near you and access them when you need to. Our Box Shop can provide everything you need for your storage space, saving you a panic if you find yourself a box short or without bubble wrap. Staff can also help you move stuff into your storage unit by helping you organise van hire or booking a taxi. We can also accept deliveries to your storage room on your behalf, so you don’t even have to be in town to start getting yourself organised.

Student storage discount

Students can get 50% off the first 8 weeks of storage. You are billed every 4 weeks, and there is no long term commitment. When you no longer need your unit, simply give 14 days’ notice. It’s the perfect way to secure the extra space you need without making a dent in your student loan.
