Choosing the Right Storage Unit Size

Most students can use a compact unit, but the right size depends on whether you're storing a few dorm items or the contents of an apartment. As a general guide:

5x5: Boxes, luggage, clothing, books, and small furniture; often enough for one student's essentials
5x10: The contents of a typical dorm room, including a mattress, desk, shelving, and several boxes
10x10: Furniture and belongings from a one-bedroom apartment
10x15: Shared apartment furniture or a larger move between leases

Consult our Size Guide for more information. A shared storage unit can work well between apartment leases, especially when roommates need space for furniture and household goods. Establish payment and access expectations before choosing a size.
