Admin | March 9, 2020 @ 12:00 AM

College students are usually lacking the space that they need, especially in a location like Santa Maria California. As a student, you're probably struggling to figure out where to stash all your belongings in your dorm room during a typical semester, and if you go to school far from home you'll definitely struggle with where to put your belongings during the summer months when you can't use your dorm any longer. This is why it's so important to have good reliable student self-storage available to you. 

Unfortunately, not all storage spaces are created equally. While you might not require climate-controlled storage space or other luxurious storage features, you do need security and convenient space to keep your stuff. Use our self-storage tips below to help you find the perfect storage location for your time at school with Fortress Secure Mini Storage

Look for a Secure Unit

No matter what you're storing in a college storage space, it's important that your belongings are protected. This means choosing a facility that offers reliable security. Try and find a self-storage facility or a warehouse that offers video surveillance, gated security, and advanced lock systems as well. It's also a good idea to consider investing in low-cost insurance for added protection throughout the year. 

Choose a Location Convenient to School

Whether you're looking for storage for your furniture and belongings over the summer months in between semesters, or you want to stash oversized items to maintain a clutter-free dorm, it's important to have a storage space close to your college. Try and find self-storage that's close by, that offers drive-up access, and storage that is accessible during most hours of the day. If you can find a space like that you'll enjoy using the storage solution more as a result. 

Consider a Space that's Accessible for You

Whether you're getting self-storage in Santa Maria, CA for yourself, or you're splitting storage with a few friends, it's important that you have easy access to your belongings. That's why it's vital to choose a unit that makes it easy to stop in and get to your belongings whenever you have to. The Fortress Secure Mini Storage facilities are designed to be accessible during standard operating hours. You get through the gate with a simple code and can open up your floor-level unit using your smartphone for immediate access. 

Finding a safe and convenient student self-storage solution takes time and some research, but once you have one it's convenient for all your storage needs year-round. Spend a bit of time picking the right solution for you and you'll be happy that you did.
