Students are set to benefit from storage spaces on campus this summer.
Two large storage boxes will be available for purchase for £20 from YUSU for the holiday period. The new provision is set to aid students whose rent dates do not cross over
conveniently and stop them having to cart their belongings around the country each holiday.
Storage was previously offered to international students but this is the first time the service will be available to all students.
YUSU President Kallum Taylor was delighted with the plans, telling Vision: “We’re really happy to be able to deliver this service. Loads of students have storage issues every year, and they’re not always international, so it’s good to be able to offer this to everyone.
“The rates we offer are very competitive, and I’d encourage our members to make the most of it.”
Second-year English and History of Art student Camilla Byles was equally positive, saying: “I am so surprised that there isn’t something in place like this already. The crossover dates for houses never seem to work and it is a nightmare having to lug all your stuff to and from home.
“I truly believe that this is a triumph for students and will make a big difference to our lives.”
