Any university student stuffing duvets into bags over term break or hurrying for finals will hear a familiar sigh. Then go into drive up mini storage, a real lifesaver for students on the Hong Kong school rollercoaster.
Think of the yearly human flow: Hall contracts ending. Renters want keys back by the last day of tests. Students have a short window to pack complete rooms lamps, bedding, books, notes, kitchen items, those dubious mementos from orientation week. Not a holiday, but a nuisance dragging everything back to their family flat (if space allows!) or paying for a van home.
In Lai Chi Kok, little spaces close the gap. Sizes range from locker like compact containers, suitable for those who travel light or only wish to hide boxes of notes or seasonal apparel. You are not tied in paying for space when term starts and you have moved back in since storage is month to month. Students on a tight budget or those going home for summer with just a knapsack value that flexibility highly.
Particularly for valuable books, computers, or other items with more sentimental than monetary value, security is vital. Usually, most institutions have set up cameras, codes, and climate control. You have nothing to worry about moldy textbooks when typhoon season sets in. Some even let you reserve online so you can plan your storage capacity before tests end, therefore preventing the last-week frenzy.
Coming back in is not too tough. Hop off the MTR at Lai Chi Kok, swing by your unit, then pick up your belongings. Your parents’ automobile or fighting crammed elevators does not have Tetris.
Would you like still one more bonus? Many students divide space among friends. Share a locker, minimize costs, and perhaps quarrel whose collection of posters truly takes up the most space.
Ministorage at Lai Chi Kok saves money, lessens inconveniences, and spare your back come September. Students handle enough curveballs; storage should not be among them.
