Summer Storage
Oxford College does not store returning students' personal belongings over the summer. So what do you do?
Option 1. Rent a unit at a self-storage facility.
Often students share a storage unit rental with friends at a local self-storage facility. Unit rental requires a contract, pre-payment, and purchase of a lock to secure the unit door.
