Student tips

Smart storage for students

How to spend less and stress less when you're packing up at the end of term.

1

Share a bigger unit

4 students sharing a 100 sq ft works out cheaper per person than 4 separate lockers, and it fits all your bikes too.

2

Sell the heavy stuff

Cheap IKEA furniture costs more to store over summer than it does to replace. Sell, donate, then buy fresh in September.

3

Vacuum-pack the soft stuff

A duvet, pillows and a winter coat fit into a single carrier bag with a vacuum pack. Cuts your storage needs in half.

4

Photograph everything

Quick phone photo of each box's contents. Helps with insurance and means you don't open 6 boxes looking for your textbooks.
