■ Some students find that storing
belongings over the summer break
is cheapier and easier than moving them
By Caron Alarab
for the Emerald
When Taylor Casey went home for the
summer last year, she brought everything
with her. It took garbage bags, boxes, suit
cases and an additional trip three weeks be
fore the term ended to get all her stuff there,
but she did it.
This summer, after spending her first year
living in the Alpha Phi sorority house, she
plans on leasing a furnished room and leav
ing a lot of her belongings at the sorority. This
is convenient for Casey, who said she hasn’t
had room to collect more things since she
moved into the house.
“I’ve had to keep it small and simple,”
she said.
Though students like Casey may choose to
take everything along for the ride, some —
whether because of costs or “pack-rat” habits
— cannot afford to haul it all. For those that
do not have the option of a Greek house or a
friend’s garage, local storage facilities are a
good solution when summer travel calls and
things need to be left behind.
One thing to consider when renting a
storage space is capacity — or the lack
there of.
“We’ve had to turn people away,” StorltAll
manager Richard Sayre said. The most re
quested storage-space size at Sayre’s business
is 5 x 5, which tends to accommodate every
thing that a person can fit into a residence
hall room. More recently, however, a lot of
students have chosen to share spaces be
tween two or three people, “which saves
money,” he said.
Sayre said students should pick a good
location for security, but he cautioned
people who plan on using storage for the
summer to get insurance coverage at
every location.
“The storage lockers I’ve found are pretty
insecure,” senior Justin Ginsburg said. “Peo
ple can just cut through the fencing and get
into outdoor units.”
Last summer Ginsburg stayed in Eugene
to work, and he plans on moving into a new
apartment after he graduates at the end of
this term. After moving out of the residence
halls at the end of his sophomore year,
Ginsburg said he found that having more
personal space and being self-sufficient
made it easier to accumulate belongings as
he went along.
Last time he moved, Ginsburg said he went
to Uhaul for boxes and a moving truck; he
said he would go there again for supplies and
transportation if need be.
“I have a couple friends with trucks,” he
said. “So we’ll see.”
Mark Stogner, general manager of the Eu
gene Uhaul, said he has never turned anyone
away because of lack of space, but the facility
has gotten very close to reaching capacity. He
agreed that having friends store together is
less expensive, but the 5x5 space is still the
most popular.
As far as the issue of whether to store or
take it all, Stogner said he doesn’t think peo
ple have caught onto the fact that it is more
economical to store. With factors such as
hitching, wiring, 24- to 48-hour delays and
the added costs of one-way travel, renting a
trailer can be expensive, he said.
“If you’re coming right back, just get stor
age,” Stogner said.
Another thing to consider are added
bonuses and discounts for students and peo
ple who store their belongings for months at
a time. StorltAll offers a 10 percent discount
to students, while Uhaul offers the fourth
month of storage free to customers during
the summer.
