Solving University Student Stress with Self Storage

For many, university can be some of the best and formative years of growing up. Yet we all remember the challenges of preparing to make the journey into a new chapter of our lives, apprehensive at moving to a new place and the challenges that can bring.

Prices, packing, transport, and time being some of the concerns of students we spoke to.  

Thankfully, it doesn’t need to be this difficult.

Books, clothes, furniture, electronics, toiletries, food, kitchenware, bedding. Just a few items that get crammed into the car. Why make this initial journey uncomfortable? We can pick up all your belongings and pack them with no hassle and no stress. We can take these all to your new abode or store it over the summer and bring it on a day of your choosing. Whether it’s Nottingham or Newcastle no journey is too far.

Perhaps you’re already at university and want to make the move from one side of town to the other. I remember at the end of my first year at Leicester University moving from student halls to a house with friends. I had nowhere to store my belongings and had to bring them back on a journey even the Proclaimers would have gasped at. We can remove that trouble and store them over the summer and bring them on the day you arrive back meaning you can take the bus or train and earn a few brownie points with the parents!

You may think it would cost the earth for us to pick up, deliver, and store. Thankfully not. We get it. You want to spend money elsewhere and exorbitant prices (especially with recent inflation) are not what people need when money needs to go for rent, food, and simply having a good time.

Our low prices are affordable; whilst other companies may have hidden costs, we pride ourselves on keeping all costs to a minimum and being transparent, meaning you can have a few more lemonades at the students’ union…

Whether you are an undergraduate, postgraduate or a caring parent, give our friendly sales team a call on 0800 061 4091.

But isn’t it refreshing to go home after work and see everything all tidied up? There are lots of ways to declutter your home and one of the easiest is the Four Box Method. Start by looking for four empty (big) boxes that you can label as TRASH, GIVE-AWAY, KEEP, and RELOCATE. You can also think of a more creative way to label each box just to differentiate them from each other.

Home Decluttering Ideas

“Whatever the problem, be part of the solution.” Just like the saying, whenever there are challenges, always have the mindset of creating a solution. Home decluttering is one of the challenges every household is facing. Probably because it's very tedious and some do not have time to do so. Others also find it hard to let go of their possessions like old clothes, books, bags, etc. and these things keep on piling up, taking up too much space.
