University Students: Get Ready for the New Academic Year with Self-Storage
As summer comes to an end and the excitement of a new academic year builds, university students across the UK are preparing for the months ahead. Whether you’re a fresher about to embark on your university journey or a returning student eager to reunite with friends and dive back into your studies, one thing is certain: managing your belongings effectively is key to a great year! And this is where self-storage can play a vital role.
Why Consider Self-Storage?
University life often comes with limited living space. Dorm rooms and student flats can quickly become cluttered with textbooks, clothes, kitchen items, and personal belongings. The last thing you want is to feel overwhelmed by your possessions when you should be focusing on your studies and enjoying campus life.
Student storage offers a practical solution to this common challenge. By storing items you don’t need on a daily basis, you can free up valuable space in your accommodation, making your living environment more comfortable and organised. This is especially beneficial if you’re sharing a flat with other students, where space is often at a premium.
Ideal for Transition Periods
For many students, the start of the academic year involves moving from one accommodation to another. This can be a stressful time, especially if there’s a gap between moving out of your summer accommodation and into your new student housing. Self-storage provides a secure place to keep your belongings during this transition period, giving you peace of mind that your items are safe and ready for you when you need them.
Simplifying Your Return to University
Returning to university after a summer break can be hectic. There’s often a lot to bring back with you—everything from kitchen utensils and bedding to books and personal items. If you’ve accumulated more belongings than your accommodation can comfortably hold, self-storage allows you to keep the essentials at hand while safely storing the rest.
Whether you’re studying in Exeter, Manchester, London, or any other major university city in the UK, Ease the Squeeze offers convenient access to storage facilities near key student areas. From the bustling city centres to quieter suburban locations, we have facilities across the country to help you manage your space effectively.

Planning Ahead
As you prepare for the new academic year, consider how self-storage could fit into your plans. Here are some practical tips to make the most of it:
Sort and Prioritise: Before packing, go through your belongings and decide what you’ll need immediately and what can be stored away. Items that are only used seasonally or occasionally are perfect candidates for self-storage.
Pack Efficiently: Use sturdy boxes and label them clearly. This will make it easier to find what you need when you access your storage unit.
Choose the Right Storage Size: Assess how much space you’ll need. Many self-storage providers offer various unit sizes, so you can select one that fits your needs without paying for unnecessary space.
Consider Accessibility: If you think you’ll need to access your stored items frequently, choose a storage facility that’s close to your accommodation or on your route to campus.
