Can anybody explain what is "university summer storage"
From context I presume that at some universities you may not return to the same dorm room, and so need to pack up your stuff and move out at the end of the school year and then back in later. Universities or nearby businesses must take advantage of this by renting storage space to students.
I never lived on or near campus so I don't have any first hand knowledge.
For the university to hold onto your stuff while you’re away for summer break
I guess we are talking about the US? That means students rent their dorms not during the breaks, and go back home. Are they forced to go into dorms or can they also just rent an apartment?
This is typical of US. Most dorms don't allow staying over breaks. It's almost impossible to find month to month or short term leasing to even get into an apartment for breaks, so you most likely find a couch to crash on or move back home. It's a massive pain in the ass
Universities usually require freshmen/sophomores to live on campus.
