About student storage at New College, Oxford

New College sits on Holywell Street, with its main entrance on New College Lane (off Holywell or Queen’s Lane) and the famous cloisters and gardens enclosed by the medieval city wall. Founded in 1379 and despite the name one of the older Oxford colleges, it houses around 430 undergraduates and 220 postgraduates. End-of-Trinity-term vacate dates fall in late June, with accommodation spanning the main quads, the Sacher Building, and the Weston Buildings on Mansfield Road.

New College’s narrow access via New College Lane means vehicle entry is restricted; UniMove vans typically load kerbside on Holywell Street or Mansfield Road, with porters arranging trolley transit through the college from each room to the loading point. Bookings are made through the porters’ lodge in advance. Typical New College undergraduates store five to seven boxes — slightly more for those with academic or musical kit (the college has a strong choral scholar tradition).

What students usually store

  • Suitcases and boxes
  • Clothes and bedding

  • Small furniture
  • Sports equipment

Why students choose collection and storage instead of self-storage

Traditional self-storage often means hiring a van, carrying everything yourself, and paying for more space than you need. UniMove’s student-focused collection and storage service is simpler — especially if you are leaving halls, sharing transport with housemates, or heading home for summer.

Can items be brought out through the New College porters’ lodge to Holywell Street?

Yes — that’s the standard route. We coordinate with the porters’ lodge in advance and items are brought via trolley from each room to the lodge for kerbside loading on Holywell Street or Mansfield Road. Allow a longer loading window if you have musical instruments or a larger volume to transit through the narrow college access.

Do you collect from student accommodation at New College?

Yes — we collect from university halls, private student halls, shared houses and private addresses at New College, with collection slots arranged around end-of-term move-out dates.

When can my items be returned to New College?

Return delivery is arranged for whenever you need your belongings back — typically the start of the next academic year, the day a new tenancy starts, or whenever you return to New College from travel or home.
