When you think of the word trunk, what comes to mind? You may think of archaic, beastly unmovable foreign objects. You may hear stories from your parents. Memories of them and their dorm room trunks. But college trunks are making a comeback among colleges in 2012. What was used mainly as storage has been popular among college freshmen for their simplicity, protection, seating and organizational ability. At DormCo, our two most popular options are the Collegiate and Armored models. Both of these great trunks are favorites among students and are proudly Made in the U.S.A. In deciding which style, you only need to look at your size and extra feature requirement.
When students decide to go home for the weekend, you will see the usual march (It doesn’t fail). Students will be carrying numerous loads of laundry, clothing, computer and just random stuff to their car or parents. The higher you live in the dorm or the farther you must walk to you ride, the less you want to be making multiple trips to get everything you need. This applies to the return trip as well. A dorm trunk with wheels can simplify the moving process into one trip, saving you time, effort and making the travel less stressful.
Both trunks have the ability for a padlock to protect your valuables. Keeping your valuable possessions safe from the flow of college traffic is on the minds of many students. Instead of purchasing an additional safe, a footlocker functions well as a safe box for your things, keeping them secure and out of sight. In addition, organization is made easy with a footlocker, leaving you a convenient place to store your college books, valuables, electronics and mainly anything you don’t want out in public view.
Lastly, seating in a dorm room is always something college students can never have enough of. A solid trunk can be used as an extra seat if you have a hangout in your room. If you are playing video games or want storage near desk level, the college trunks yet again find use for college students. What really differentiates the two models are the bell and whistle features. The Armored is a higher priced option with additional trunk protection and customization options. Both models give you options for color, making either perfect for college.
College trunks are becoming popular again because of the new age style and numerous personalization options available to you. These affordable footlockers allow you ample storage while still being functional options for dorm room security. When you decide that a college trunk is for you, the next step is decorating it and truly making it your own.
