Nottingham is a bustling student city, with students of both the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University living there. Moving into student accommodation in Nottingham is an exciting time, but it can also be stressful.
Whether you’re a first-year student moving into halls, a returning student renting a shared house, or studying abroad for a semester, having a reliable storage solution makes life easier.
Choosing Kangaroo for student storage means access to affordable rates, flexible rental agreements, and advanced security.
Students in Nottingham face unique storage challenges, including:
A flexible storage unit near the city centre or university campus means you don’t have to cram your room with boxes or risk leaving valuables in shared areas.
With everything else you’ve got going on, the last thing you’ll want to worry about is finding that extra space for your belongings. Here’s our simple tips:
September and October tend to be the busiest season for moving into student housing in the UK. Decide early which items to store so you’re not rushed during the move.
Use sturdy boxes, clearly label them, and separate items by category (clothes, books, electronics, etc.). If you need boxes for packing your belongings, our onsite box shop has everything you need from wardrobe boxes to tape and bubble wrap.
Units near Nottingham city centre make it easy to access your belongings without long travel. If you don’t have a car at university, make sure the unit is easy to get to using public transport.
Look for facilities with 24-hour CCTV, secure locks, and controlled access to give you peace of mind while you focus on your studies. Luckily, at Kangaroo you’ll get all these security features and more.
Even if items are in storage, you may need occasional access to textbooks, seasonal clothing, or personal belongings.
Stack boxes carefully, with heavier items at the bottom and lighter ones on top. Use sturdy containers that won’t collapse under weight.
Place out-of-season clothes or sports gear at the back, and keep term-time essentials at the front for easy access.
Wrap glassware, electronics, or valuables in bubble wrap or padded clothing, and store them securely on top of boxes – not underneath.
If you’re storing for longer than a few weeks, leave a small gap so you can reach boxes at the back without unloading the whole unit.
Pack so that when term ends, you can easily grab the boxes you’ll need for home, and leave behind the ones you’ll keep stored over summer.
When searching for a storage unit, you’ll want one that’s easily accessible. Luckily, our Nottingham facility is in a great location for students of both universities.
So, whether you’re running late for a seminar or heading home for the weekend, you can swing by your storage without hassle.
