Smart Storage Solutions for College Students: Why Back Forty Storage is the Perfect Fit

Let’s face it—college life comes with its own set of challenges, and one of the biggest is a lack of space. Dorm rooms and shared apartments aren’t exactly known for their spacious closets or roomy living areas. If you’re a college student at a nearby university or technical school, you’ve probably already realized how fast your limited space can fill up.

That’s where Back Forty Storage comes in. We offer secure, affordable, and flexible storage options that are perfect for college students who need a little extra room.


1. Dorm Rooms Are Tiny—Make the Most of Your Space

Dorm rooms are designed to be efficient, not luxurious. Once you add a bed, desk, mini fridge, clothes, and school supplies, there’s not much room left for anything else. A storage unit is the perfect place to keep things you don’t use every day—extra bedding, textbooks from past semesters, sports gear, or even furniture pieces.


2. Store Seasonal Clothing and Gear

There’s no need to crowd your closet with winter jackets during the scorching Alabama summer or store swimwear during the cold months. With a storage unit, you can easily rotate your wardrobe by season, keeping your living space more organized and functional. It’s also a great place to store holiday decorationscamping gear, or sports equipment.


3. Simplify Summer and Holiday Breaks

When the semester ends and it’s time to head home for the summer or winter break, moving everything back and forth can be a hassle. Instead, keep your items safely stored in one of our units. That way, you don’t have to load up your car or worry about things getting damaged in transit. You can travel light, knowing your belongings are secure and waiting for you when you return.


4. Flexible Rental Options to Fit Your Schedule

At Back Forty Storage, we understand that college schedules change often. That’s why we offer month-to-month rental options, so you’re not locked into a long-term contract. Rent for the months you need and easily cancel when you're ready.


5. Secure, Local, and Affordable

We’re proud to be a veteran and family-owned business right here in Enterprise, AL. Our facility is well-lit, monitored, and secured so you can have peace of mind while focusing on your classes. And with a variety of unit sizes—including smaller, budget-friendly options—you’ll only pay for the space you need.


Bonus: Discounts Available

We offer discounts for military, first responders, seniors, and multi-unit rentals. If you’re sharing a unit with friends or storing gear for a campus organization, those savings can really add up.
