Summer Storage for College Students

Posted on: April 19, 2013

Finals are around the corner and the end of the semester isn’t long after that—so what are you going to do with all of your college and dorm room furniture when classes end? At SMARTBOX, we offer simple and affordable summer storage solutions for college students both on-site and in our temperature-controlled storage facility.

If you need summer storage in Maryland, Northern Virginia, or Washington, DC, call SMARTBOX at 301-683-6111 or fill out the contact form to the right to learn more about our portable storage solutions!

The Benefits of Summer Storage for College Students

Like most college students, you probably have a lot of furniture, books, posters, and more, all specifically for your dorm, apartment, or house on or near campus—and all that stuff is going to need a place to go come summertime. That’s where SMARTBOX comes in! We have portable storage options that are perfect for your college furniture.

We make summer storage easy by bringing our portable storage containers to you—and they’re only 5 feet wide, which means they’ll fit perfectly in most standard-size parking spots. That way, you can take all the time you need loading up all your belongings. When you’re ready, we’ll pick up your belongings and take them to our secure, temperature-controlled storage facility until you’re ready for them next fall. If you need access to your things before the fall semester, all you have to do is pick up the phone and give us a call. We can have your storage containers ready for you when you arrive.
