Got stuff you don't want anymore? This video gives you a new alternative to the dumpster. REMEMBER: leaving personal furniture in a common area is a $100 fine.
Where Can I Keep My Stuff?
Biola does not provide storage for student belongings during the summer months. All personal items (including furniture) left in rooms, apartments, lobbies, lounges, laundry rooms or other common areas will be disposed of during the summer.
Bicycles cannot be left on campus during summer except while you are enrolled in summer classes.
So when it comes to your stuff, if you're not
•taking it home,
•donating it,
•throwing it away,
•or keeping it with you in summer housing,
then you will need to make arrangements with off-campus family or friends or with a storage company.
Below are some self-storage and portable container companies you can contact for quotes or to reserve storage. Consider sharing a storage container with a roommate or friend to save money.
