A lot of students often move to study, with Monash University hosting a large numberof international students from all over the world. International students frequently face additional challenges on top of regular university life, with constant travel, visa limitations, and difficulty finding stable accommodation proving quite stressful over the course of their studies.

Many students find themselves moving between different flats or returning home between semesters, which can make storing belongings a logistical headache. StorageX can help by providing additional space that students might be lacking in their accommodation, as well as a secure place to leave belongings when travelling back abroad. Small to and also peace of mind, knowing their goods have been stored securely while they’re away.

Storage units can also be a great place to store seasonal or hobby-related items that might not necessarily fit in a dormitory. Things like winter clothes, ski equipment, or camping gear can be tucked away in a secure environment, helping remove clutter during off-seasons. Hobby equipment such as musical instruments, computers or tech like a 3D printer, and gear for bouldering, photography or sports are all great candidates for storage.

Not only do these items take up precious space, but they also often require care and security that shared living spaces don’t always provide. With space often limited, it’s important that students maximise what’s available in their dorm and find convenient solutions for items they don’t use every day but still value highly.

Some useful packing tips for students include creating a checklist on your phone before starting to pack. It’s essential to keep track of your belongings, and AI tools can even help you generate a list and stay organised. You can also use note-taking apps or spreadsheets to mark what’s in each box. Labelling everything carefully and categorising related items together makes a massive difference when unpacking.

Transparent, stackable plastic boxes are a smart choice—they help you save space vertically, and their visibility makes it far easier to retrieve what you need later without digging through everything like a needle in a haystack. It also helps to categorise each box by room, hobby, or item type to streamline storage. Set good habits early on—your future self will definitely thank you for it, especially during exam periods or when you’re preparing to travel.
