First-Time Student Storage Guide: What You Can Keep at Storage Corner

College life often means moving between dorms, small apartments, and home during breaks. Instead of hauling everything back and forth, self-storage can make your transition much smoother. At Storage Corner, with locations across Utah, Idaho, and California, we help students free up space while keeping their belongings safe and accessible.

Why Students Use Self-Storage

Dorm rooms and student housing can feel cramped. And when summer arrives, moving all your stuff back home isn’t always realistic. Here’s where Storage Corner makes life easier:

• Store seasonal clothing and gear when not in use
• Keep textbooks, school supplies, and notes organized
• Safely hold onto small furniture, bedding, and appliances during breaks
• Free up living space during semester transitions

What You Can Store at Storage Corner

Here’s a checklist of common items students safely keep in their units:

• Textbooks, binders, and study materials
• Bedding, pillows, and towels
• Small furniture like desks, chairs, or nightstands
• Winter jackets, boots, and seasonal clothes
• Sports equipment and bicycles
• Posters, decorations, and personal items
• Electronics and gaming consoles (best in climate-controlled units)
• Mini fridges, microwaves, and small appliances

💡 Tip: Our climate-controlled units are especially helpful for sensitive items like books, electronics, clothes, or papers that you don’t want exposed to heat or humidity.

What You Cannot Store

To protect you and your neighbors, some items are not allowed in self-storage:

• Food or perishables
• Flammable or hazardous materials (gasoline, paint, fireworks, etc.)
• Illegal substances
• Live animals
• Plants

When in doubt, reach out to our Storage Corner staff — we’re happy to guide you.

Is Climate-Controlled Storage Right for You?

Climate-controlled storage isn’t only for expensive belongings — it’s a safeguard against extreme weather. Whether you’re in the heat of Utah, the cold of Idaho, or coastal California, these units help protect:

• Wooden furniture from warping
• Electronics from overheating
• Clothes from moisture damage

If you plan to access your storage unit frequently during seasonal changes, climate-controlled storage is often the best fit.
