As summer break approaches, students at Georgia College & State University and Georgia Military College begin packing up their dorm rooms and off-campus apartments. While clothes and books are easy to move, electronics are a different story. Laptops, gaming systems, desktop computers, and televisions represent a major investment and require special care during the long, hot months when most students leave Milledgeville.

Even if equipment still turns on after sitting all summer, hidden damage may already be done. Storing your electronics in a climate controlled environment is one of the simplest ways to prevent this kind of costly wear. The Importance of Climate Controlled Storage for Students Climate controlled storage, sometimes called temperature controlled storage, is designed to keep your belongings in a stable environment year-round.
