Student Storage

University is fun and exciting, so you don’t want to waste too much energy finding suitable storage for all your belongings when you discover your halls room is the size of a shoebox. There may also be times when you find yourself without a convenient storage place for your gear when you’re between student house moves or during the summer holidays. Not to worry, Big Yellow Self Storage is on hand with practical and secure storage units that are perfect for university storage. We offer small and large storage units for rent along with flexible timeframes whilst you take on your transition.

Near or far, self storage has you covered

Our storage facilities are conveniently located, offering student storage in many University towns. You won’t have to travel far to grab your belongings whenever you’re ready to move in or out. This will allow you to get organised at your own pace and in an uncluttered environment. If you’re unsure of where your nearest Big Yellow Self Storage is, our online store locator will help you find storage rooms close to your university. 

Your university room is likely to be smaller than you thought with next to no storage space, so whatever you can’t fit in you can keep securely in self storage – acting as an extension of your room. We offer small storage units in the form of large lockers where you can stow a couple of suitcases, or larger storage rooms suitable for spare furniture if you find yourself with more stuff than you expected. Not sure what size unit you’ll need? You can either use our size guide or a member of the Big Yellow team will help with your student storage.

Help is always on hand

Once you’ve found the ideal storage unit to rent, you don’t have to worry about storage boxes or packing materials. 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 aim to make student storage as smooth a process as possible, giving you one less thing to worry about as you prepare for the academic year ahead or your summer holiday adventures. 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.

Peace of mind while you’re away

There’s no point lugging all your stuff back home just to bring it back again in September. With summer storage for college students, whether you’re from the local town or travelling from further afield, Big Yellow Self Storage can provide you with safe and secure storage units for your belongings during the holidays. Our self storage units are clean and damp free, so you can leave your belongings in them with peace of mind that they’ll stay pristine while you’re away.

Your student self storage space will be personal to you, with a unique PIN code giving you the freedom to access your storage room seven days a week. Your belongings will stay secure with around the clock security monitoring – making sure everything is exactly where you left it.

If you’re planning a gap year or a stint of travel, self storage could be the perfect storage for your belongings while you’re away for a longer period. Everything you don’t take with you can be securely and neatly stored away, giving mum and dad more storage space at home.
