Moving to a new city can always be a daunting task. So the self storage facility, Access Self Storage, is stepping up to help new students make the move go a little more smoothly. It’s handing out a free, limited-edition University Survival Kit for all students as they begin the new academic year.
The Kit, containing a variety of specially curated sustainable items to support general wellbeing, is free to collect from four Access Self Storage locations in and near Birmingham. It’s packed with everything a student needs to kickstart their return to university.
What’s inside the University Survival Kit?
Each survival kit includes:
- A journal and pen for jotting down late-night thoughts or lecture notes
- Reusable metal straw, perfect for drinks nights in halls
- Soothing tea to support sleep and relaxation
- Metal refillable water bottle for staying hydrated on long days on campus
- Shower gel to help stay fresh for early seminars or nights out
- Electrolytes and snacks for energy
- Earplugs to block out unwanted noise
- A reusable tote bag, perfect for carrying books once the Kit has been used
That’s not all. As one kit at each location contains a hidden ‘Golden Ticket’—a £100 Amazon Gift Card.
