When children leave for college, it can be a bittersweet experience for parents. On the one hand, parents have an empty nest for the first time in 18 years. Their children are now adults and no longer require a high level of parental care. On the other hand, watching their children who were babies not so long ago grow up and move out can be sad for parents. When students move into a dorm, they may lack sufficient space for all their belongings. Because of this, they may require the best self-storage North Miami Beach has available. There are several things that parents may want to consider putting in storage while the kids are in college. Sports Equipment Sports equipment can take up a lot of room in a home. Some teens use weights, ellipticals, and other gym equipment during high school and can’t bring these items into a small dorm room. Baseball gear, hockey equipment, and football essentials can also take up a lot of room in a home. Once the kids leave for college, parents often don’t want all this sporting equipment taking up valuable space in a home. Self-storage can be a big help in this regard. If your college student needs the equipment, they can simply get it out of storage and put it back when done. Furniture Your son or daughter likely left for college and left behind multiple furniture items, such as a bed, dresser, desk, lamps and shelving units. Unless you plan to keep your child’s room exactly as it was before they left, you probably want to put these bulky items in a storage unit for the time being. Your child can do what they want with the furniture when they graduate from college, and you can use the room for your hobbies. It’s a win-win situation! Seasonal Clothes Clothes can take up a lot of room, especially bulky items such as jackets and pants. Since we don’t wear the same type of clothing all year long, it may be necessary to keep seasonal clothes in storage and switch them out as needed. In the winter time, you can store shorts and tank tops while your child brings the jackets, pants and other cold weather clothes back to the dorm. Then, when the weather warms up again, you can put the winter clothes back and storage and get out the summer clothes.
