<p>After making the 14 hour drive to Durham with our freshman and his Stuff, including fridge and micro, I'm wondering about the availability of storage over the summer. </p>
<p>Are there storage facilities nearby that offer short-term agreements? Any specific suggestions?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>there's plenty of storage facilities, there's also collegeboxes where they pick up your stuff, store it for you, and deliver it to your dorm the following school year. there's a ton of different options</p>
<p>My son rented a unit with about 8 other guys. Is was not that expensive.</p>
<p>Duh. I should have gone to google first. You're right, of course: there are lots of storage facilities in the area.</p>
<p>If anyone has any recommendations or outfits to avoid, that would be appreciated. I imagine that the units get scarce as May approaches--right?</p>
<p>Yeah, get them early. Last summer, they offered storage units on Central. Other than that, public storage is pretty cheap but has no climate controlled units.</p>
<p>Amused-</p>
<p>Who is "they" who offered units on Central? Duke? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>My first year I had a climate controlled unit off campus... and I've never heard of anyone renting space on central to store stuff.
Don't even worry about this NOW.</p>
<p>OK, Bluestar! I'd much rather not worry NOW. This is probably something i can add to the student's to-do list (!) next term.</p>
<p>yes, Duke offered it</p>
