How do we Store stuff and our belongings for the summer? Anyone have any ideas or experiences about leaving things around UR over the summer?
Thank you!

D2 used all of the following methods for storing stuff over the summer:

  1. dividing her stuff up among friends who lived nearby. (Each person took some of her stuff, stored it at their home over the summer and each brought it back in the fall.)

  2. relocated all it to a summer rental [house/apt] in town while she worked on campus over the summer

  3. rented a storage unit/storage pod with a group of friends

There are companies that store for you and deliver it back. My kid used one - can’t find the name - and it was run by some UR grads from the area whose family owned a storage place. If you google for summer storage you get lots of hits for UR.

At the end of D’s freshman year, she and two friends rented a storage unit. Each paid for one month for the summer rental. We had come up to see her in a performance right before finals and we took a good deal of her winter clothes home. After finals and she and her friends moved their stuff to storage along with one parent who came over with a car, she flew home. Following year she stored stuff with friends in off-campus housing who were there for the summer as she was going study abroad in fall. The following year she worked there in summer both on campus and in Rochester and moved into her off-campus apartment with her stuff. Older d did the same variation at different school in another state. This is pretty common approach for all or most.
