If you are a student at one of the universities in the area, you may find yourself in need of storage. Our storage rooms in Exeter will be perfect. 

For students attending the University of Exeter, Exeter College, or any of the other educational institutions in the surrounding area, having the right storage is really important. Each academic year brings with it the need to move in and move out of your university accommodation. University accommodation is often small and there is little storage. 

Our storage rooms will be a big help, offering you a safe, flexible, cost-effective space to store your belongings. Within this article, we will look at how our storage will benefit your student life.

Why Students Need Our Storage Rooms Exeter 

Exeter is a dynamic university city, attracting thousands of students each year. All the students will face decisions when it comes to going home for the long summer break or when they live in a shared home. Within this section, we will look at how our storage rooms will help. 

Help During The Long Summer Break 

The most pressing need for student storage arises during the long summer break. Whether a student is moving back home, travelling abroad, or taking a temporary job elsewhere, they often need to leave their term-time accommodation. Dragging boxes of textbooks, kitchen equipment, bedding, and clothing across the country (or even the world) is impractical and costly. 

Our storage will provide a safe, convenient solution where your belongings can remain secured just a short drive away from many local unis and colleges, ready for when you get back in September. This eliminates the expensive and arduous task of transporting everything home and back again.

Navigating Accommodation Changes

It is common for students to live in multiple locations throughout their degree – uni halls, shared houses, and sometimes even temporary sublets. Moving between these places is frequent, and storage requirements will change. A student moving from a small hall room into a larger shared house might need to store non-essential items temporarily, or a student finishing a placement might need short-term storage while they find a new permanent address. 

Our flexible storage and range of room sizes make these transitions seamless, ensuring students only pay for the space they need, for exactly how long they need it.

Space Optimisation In Shared Living

Student accommodation, particularly shared houses and uni halls, is rarely spacious. Clutter can quickly accumulate, turning study areas into stressful environments. Our storage offers you some extra space alongside your student living space. 

Items like bulky sports equipment, musical instruments, excess furniture, or seasonal clothing can be safely stored in our storage rooms. This clears valuable space in your student home, making your study environment more productive and comfortable. 

International Student Support

Exeter is home to a significant number of international students. In 2026, 22% of the students attending the University of Exeter were international students. 

For these students, the challenge of moving their belongings is even greater. Storing items close to their uni is a cost-effective and straightforward alternative to flying home with multiple large suitcases or paying exorbitant international moving fees. Our secure Exeter facility will offer you peace of mind that your belongings are safe, awaiting your return to uni.
