Storing personal effects
The Service des résidences will store your stuff free for the summer and other periods as well. Some restrictions apply.
Storage capacity
You may store up to 10 boxes and 1 compact (5-cu-ft) refrigerator.
The following specifications apply to stored material:
- Only standard 46 cm (L) x 31 cm (H) x 38 cm (W) boxes are accepted, up to a maximum weight of 22 kg each. Boxes of this type may be purchased at the Reception and service desk.
- Pack all electronic equipment in boxes.
- Defrost, empty, and clean your refrigerator before storing. Although refrigerators larger than 5 cu ft may be kept in rooms, they are not accepted for storage.
