Campus Solutions Summer Storage, Xavier’s student-owned
and operated business, is here to help students who do not want to haul their boxes back and forth. Lyden Foust, senior and founder of the business, explained Campus Solutions as move crew meets summer storage. Campus Solutions is not the first summer storage business, but they are the first one operated by students. This summer is their second
year in business serving Xavier students. They are expanding to University of Cincinnati and College of Mount St. Joseph this year as well. “We are revolutionizing move
in and move out day. Because of the convenience, it alters a portion of the college experience.” Jake Wilson, junior and chief operating officer of Campus Solutions, said It only takes three clicks on their website to sign up for this service. After selecting a storage package, students are delivered their packing material including boxes, bubble wrap, etc. Campus Solutions will pick up your belongings on the designated date and move them to a storage facility.
Before classes start, they drop your boxes off at your residence, so students and their parents do not have to stress. All the storage goes to a warehouse in Oakley.
It is important to Foust that the business also serves as a model for other students, showing them that starting a business is sustainable. “We are learning all about service.
We like to think we know what the students want because
we are students ourselves,” said John Janisse, first year and chief managing officer of Campus Solutions. said. Last year they helped move 88 students last year and had a customer satisfaction rating of 9.2 out of 10. This summer they hope to get better customer satisfaction ratings
and change the way people view the college move out process. For these next two weeks, “I want the question to be ‘what [Campus Solutions] storage package am I going to use?'” says Foust.
