Storage
There is no storage available while you are in the program. If you have a few items and it will not be an imposition on your roommates, you can bring items to your room. Please note, the rooms are not large and cannot accommodate a lot of items. If you have a lot of items, there are several private storage facilities available in the area where you can store items during the program. Research online for units in the Kearny Mesa or Mira Mesa area for facilities close to campus. Many have special rates for students.
