<p>When I have a bunch of stuff, I take Amtrak back and forth (also to the midwest). You can check 3 bags/boxes up to 50 pounds each and two carry-ons. (And by carry-on, I mean full-sized suitcase, not the airline limits.) With the Student Advantage card (if you got that), it’s also 15% off.</p>
<p>There are also a lot of storage places that will take your stuff for the summer, like Kiddie mentioned. My boyfriend has generally taken this option in the past without too much trouble. This would probably be a lot easier than trying to get a storage locker on your own.</p>
<p>Alternatively, see if you can send some stuff to the basement of a friend who lives fairly nearby. (Currently, my stuff is spread out across Massachusetts. I’m just assuming it will all show up when I get back to campus on Friday.
