CollegeStuffBNB

Tonight my friends who moved to Atlanta and stored some of their son’s college stuff in our garage are coming to pick it up. Tomorrow they move him into his dorm. We were happy to keep his boxes and shelf in our garage. It was just a bit and we had the room.
Russ’ cousins in Boston are doing the same thing for us. I drove Carter’s linens she will need in Boston there this summer. She won’t be in Boston until January, but since we are flying her to college it was to get some stuff there in advance. Of course the Cousins are having to store her stuff more than two months so I am eternally grateful for their generosity. 
I got to thinking about all the students who travel from all over the country to the towns where they go to college. Every summer when they go home they don’t necessarily need to take everything they own home. Sheets, towels, mini fridges they could go into storage, but how to find a place for it to stay?
What about an AirBNB type program just to store college kids belongings over the summer? If you live in a college town and have space in a basement, garage, storage shed or attic you could rent it out to store the books that kids are certainly not going to read over the summer. It is much easier than having real life guests in your house. Think of how convenient it would be for the parents of these student and you might make a few bucks.
