Why students use storage

Made for the College Calendar

Month-to-month rentals fit the way the school year actually works. Common ways Arkansas students use Modern Storage®:

Summer break

Store dorm and apartment belongings over the summer instead of hauling everything home and back.

Study abroad

Keep your things safe for a semester or year overseas without paying for an empty apartment.

Between leases

Bridge the gap when your lease ends before the next one starts — month-to-month, no long-term commitment.

Internships & co-ops

Leaving town for a summer internship? Store the apartment and skip the double rent.

Dorm to apartment

Moving off campus? Stage your move and store extra furniture until the new place is ready.

Roommates splitting a unit

Share one unit between roommates to split the cost of summer storage.

Not sure what size you need? A 5x5 holds a dorm room, a 5x10 fits an apartment bedroom, and a 10x10 holds a one-bedroom apartment. Use the Size Guide or AI Storage Size Finder, and grab a free moving truck at participating locations for move-out day.

FAQ

Student Storage FAQ

Do you offer student storage near the University of Arkansas?

Yes. Tenant Support Modern Storage® Springdale and Modern Storage® Lowell are the closest facilities to the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville — roughly 10–20 minutes away via I‑49. Both offer month-to-month rentals, so students can store over summer break, during a study-abroad term, or between leases without a long-term contract. Climate-controlled and drive-up units are available depending on the location. See storage near Fayetteville for details.

What size storage unit do students usually need?

It depends on how much you're storing. A 5x5 unit holds a dorm room's worth of boxes, a mini-fridge, and small furniture. A 5x10 fits the contents of an apartment bedroom or a studio. A 10x10 holds a full one-bedroom apartment. Roommates often share one unit to split the cost. Use the Size Guide or AI Storage Size Finder to pick the right size before you reserve.

Can I rent for the summer only?

Yes. All Modern Storage® rentals are month-to-month with no long-term lease, so summer-only storage is easy — rent in May, move out in August, and pay only for the months you need. This is one of the most common reasons students use storage, along with study abroad and summer internships.

Which Modern Storage® locations are closest to my campus?

In Northwest Arkansas, Springdale and Lowell serve University of Arkansas students, and Bentonville serves NorthWest Arkansas Community College. In the Little Rock metro, West Little Rock, Shackleford, and Riverdale serve UA Little Rock and downtown campuses, while North Little Rock and Maumelle Blvd serve UA–Pulaski Tech.

Do you have climate-controlled units for electronics and books?

Many Modern Storage® locations offer climate-controlled units, which help protect laptops, electronics, books, paper, and other temperature-sensitive items from Arkansas heat and humidity over a long summer. Availability varies by location — check the location you're storing at to confirm.

Is there a free moving truck for move-out?

Modern Storage® offers a free moving truck with new rentals at participating Arkansas locations — handy for hauling a dorm or apartment to storage on move-out day. Availability, mileage, and terms vary by location.

How do I reserve student storage?

Student Storage vs Bringing Everything Home — which is better?

Bringing everything home each semester can be time-consuming and expensive. Student storage provides a convenient solution for keeping belongings near campus between terms.

Dorm Storage vs Storage Unit — which is better?

Dorm storage is often limited and unavailable during breaks. Storage units provide additional room for furniture, clothing, electronics, and personal belongings.

Shared Storage Unit vs Individual Storage Unit — which is better?

Shared storage units help reduce costs by splitting expenses among roommates. Individual units provide greater privacy and control over access.

College Storage vs Moving Everything Every Semester — which is better?

Moving belongings every semester requires transportation, packing, and time. College storage simplifies transitions by keeping items stored until they are needed again.

5x5 vs 5x10 Storage Unit for College Students — which is better?

A 5x5 unit is ideal for boxes, clothing, and small dorm items. A 5x10 unit provides additional room for mattresses, desks, mini-fridges, and larger furniture. Students moving out of apartments often find a 5x10 more practical.

Shared Storage Unit vs Renting Multiple Units — which is better?

Sharing a larger storage unit with roommates can reduce costs while keeping everyone's belongings in one location. Multiple units may provide better privacy but usually cost more.

Storage Unit vs Leaving Items in a Dorm Room — which is better?

Many schools require students to completely vacate dorm rooms during summer break. A storage unit provides a secure place to keep belongings until the next semester begins.

Storage Unit vs Moving Furniture Back to Parents' House — which is better?

Transporting furniture home every semester can require truck rentals, extra labor, and long-distance travel. A nearby storage unit may be more convenient and cost-effective.

Summer Storage vs Year-Round Storage — which should I choose?

Students who only need storage during breaks may prefer short-term rentals. Year-round storage can be beneficial for students who frequently move between apartments or dorms.

Best Storage Unit for College Students — how do I choose?

The best option depends on the amount of belongings being stored, the length of storage needed, and whether the student is sharing space with roommates. Most students find a 5x5 or 5x10 unit provides sufficient space for summer storage.
