Hoosier State of Prep: Making Your Closet Work at College with MakeSpace

When transitioning between high school and college, one of the hardest things to do is to downsize your closet. Since I go to school and live in Indiana, I need clothes for all four seasons. I'm lucky to be able to leave most of my clothes at home and switch out clothes between campus at home every few weeks as needed when the temperature begins to change. My closet at home is definitely larger than my closet at school, and there is no possible way I could fit all of my clothes into my closet down here. A lot of my friends that are from out of state bring wha seems to be their whole closet to their room (which I think is insane and way too much clutter, but to each their own). I think as college students, we all wish that our closets either at home or at school looked like those dream closets that we see all over Pinterest, but there is no way that is going to happen.

but in reality, we're stuck with a closet that lacks hanging space with small drawers.

A perfect solution to your closet problems are to store clothing that you currently don't need in your closet. With MakeSpace, you can store your seasonal clothing, along with anything else you need stored, and MakeSpace will take your bins and store them for you. This way, you never have to visit a storage unit. This is also perfect for those who are new to cities and can't fit all of their belongings into their small apartments. Features of MakeSpace that I think are really important to consider are the they will pick up and deliver your bins, they provide free MakeSpace Storage Bins, and the storage rates do not increase.

MakeSpace currently services New York City, Chicago, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles. This is a great option for those who attend colleges within the city or work in the city. I'm too far from Chicago to use MakeSpace, but if I lived closer, I would definitely use MakeSpace to declutter my living space and closet. MakeSpace has announced some future spots where they will be offering their storage services and they plan to announce more soon!
