When school’s out and it’s time to head home, many students face the same question: Where do I put all my stuff?
If you're not keeping your apartment or dorm over the summer, a storage unit is a smart and affordable solution. At Bolt Storage, we offer student-friendly storage options that are secure, easy to rent, and available near campus.
Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right storage unit size for your things.
Best Storage Unit Sizes for Students
5x5 Storage Unit – Closet-Size Storage
This is the most popular choice for students. It’s like a small walk-in closet—perfect for:
- A few boxes and storage bins
- Small furniture (like a nightstand or office chair)
- A mini fridge or microwave
- Clothes, books, and dorm supplies
Ideal if you lived in a furnished dorm or small studio and just need space for personal items.
5x10 Storage Unit – Small Room Size
This size is great if you have a little more to store. It fits the contents of a small bedroom or studio apartment:
- Twin or full-size mattress
- Dresser, desk, and chair
- TV, floor lamp, and kitchen items
- A few moving boxes
Choose this if you lived in an off-campus apartment and need to store your own furniture.
Sharing a Unit with Friends?
A 5x10 or even a 10x10 unit can be a great option if you’re splitting the cost with roommates or friends. You’ll each get your own space—and save money while keeping everything safe until fall.
