<p>Mom of first-year here! DD has to leave everything except her warm-weather clothing at MHC for the summer. I heard that storage at the school is not recommended because of the possibility of flooding from summer rains. Do students use storage in South Hadley or in Chicopee instead? Do you have recommendations for storage locations? How soon should this be set up? Thanks in advance for your help</p>
<p>There is a Five College storing place and it is pretty good. Only international students (excluding Canada/Mexico) at MHC are allowed to use MHC storage over the summer. Her best bet is to see if any of her friends in the area have extra space so she can keep her stuff with them. If not, then either storage w/ Chicopee or the Five College storage people would be fine.</p>
<p>If you need storage there is an excellent storage place close to campus. When my daughter was in France for a year we used a storage facility in Holyoke. It is really no problem to use storage there.</p>
<p>We used Door to Door for my son at UCLA last summer, and except for the fact that I had to go to Westwood and stake out a parking spot (we live 2 1/2 hours away and he does not have a car at school) both at pickup and delivery, it worked out very well. We will have to inquire if we are allowed to have Door to Door park the containers outside the dorms at MHC.</p>
<p>If this is allowed, moving will be enormously simplified.</p>
