How Manchester students can save money on accommodation fees

Greater Manchester has one of the largest student populations in Europe, with over 100,000 students across its five universities.

Students come from all over the country – and all over the world – to study here. And on top of hefty course fees, they commit to pay for accommodation throughout the academic year.

Many students end up paying rent over the summer months so they have somewhere to store their belongings, even though they won’t actually be living there. 

But there is another way.

Self storage companies have been helping Manchester’s students store their belongings safely and securely for years, allowing them to return home for the summer knowing their things are safe and secure. self storage prices are cheaper than paying rent and are even lower in summer – that’s why summer storage is the most popular use of self storage for students.

With the whole country still at a standstill, this is an uncertain time for most people. It’s a testing time for students too. All physical classes at major universities across Manchester have been suspended for the rest of the academic year but restrictions on tenancy agreements are making it difficult for them to return home to be with their families.

Companies which provide affordable storage for students all year round are proving to be a godsend for students who want somewhere safe and secure to store their belongings so they can return home, whether it’s for lockdown or for the summer. 

There are plenty of self storage companies across Manchester which are competing to provide the very best service for the lowest possible price – great news for students.
