In recent Phoenix news, Grand Canyon University stated that they are expanding their available programs to employ more people, keep tuition rates down, and expand students’ opportunities to receive a formal college education. Not only does this benefit the future of our Phoenix and Arizona futures, it also benefits the community at large. We at US Storage Centers are very supportive of educational pursuits, and we are here to help any college student or parents of college students who are taking advantage of the education any university in the area is offering. We provide storage units Phoenix residents can use to make their transition to college life easier, to help manage their focus on their students, and to assist parents who also transition to one less child in the home. Keep reading to see how we can help. 1. Storing Childhood Memories College students often think they need to pack up their entire lives and bring all of their belongings with them to college. While it is important to take the necessities with you, this is a common misconception about college life. Keeping childhood memories, such as toys you want to pass on to your kids in the future, awards from school, or other types of achievements are important. However, the space you have in most dorm rooms or shared apartments is minimal, and it is difficult to pack your whole life into those small living spaces. We recommend keeping any non-essentials in a Phoenix storage unit while you are going to college. You can access them anytime you would like without the burden of keeping them in your own living space. This is especially helpful if Mom and Dad don’t want to keep your stuff packed in their home. 2. Place for Books A storage unit is a also a great place to store the ever-amounting number of books you accumulate after a few semesters of school. While many students sell their books back to the school, many others also keep them for their personal libraries as a reference. While this can be a good idea for many students, it isn’t ideal for living, as books soon crowd your minimal shelving space and start to crowd onto your desk, bed, dresser, floor, and other places in your room. You can rent a fairly reasonable storage unit in Phoenix just for your books and other school supplies, which makes it easy even in the summers when you return home. You will not need to haul boxes and boxes of books where you would probably keep them in your parent’s basement anyway. 3. Furniture College students with their own furniture often find it a struggle to move when they return home for the summer to move their stuff with them. Items such as beds, desks, dressers, and bookshelves store nicely in our Phoenix store units and reduce the headache of trying to find out how to haul all of it home and back. For Your College Student While you are taking advantage of your college education, let us help you organize your time and make your studies easier.
