Rich kids who don't feel like taking stuff home for the summer.
or the opposite - kids who can't transfer all of their things at once for a reasonable amount of money
when i studied at a UK uni i couldn't really afford shipping all my pots, pans, sheets, and books back and forth from Poland every year
Must be nice to have owned things. At that age I moved house with a backpack and a bin bag. The fun of apprenticeship wages.
A rich kid would toss it all in a dumpster and buy new shit in the fall.
I ain't dragging 2 carloads of pots, pans, desks, and clothes back home for 3 months when I know I'll be living in probably the same dorm again very soon. A waste of gas, time, and money.
When I was in college I just stayed in the same dorm and worked. If I had to remove shit I'd have done similar to OP, minus the cool case
It can cost more to bring stuff home and back tbh depending on your method of travel, you can’t leave your stuff at university, and a lot of people live in on-campus housing which shuts down all summer.
It can be way cheaper to find cheap storage facilities (or a local friend and pay them). It’s not just for lazy rich kids.
Why would you need to take your stuff home?
