Special Subsidy Storage Pricing for 2022-2023:  What is the Amherst College Subsidy, who is it for, and how does it work? 
Amherst College has discontinued their on-campus on-campus storage offerings.  We are servicing a program that will subsidize the cost of storage for international and low-income students.
Click here to learn more and request a storage subsidy.
SSCs cover Boomerang’s one-time registration fee and up to 4 boxes, totes, or luggage (size 4.5 cubic feet or smaller).
Boomerang’s standard boxes meet these criteria.  Boxes/totes/luggage numbering more than 4 items, any furniture, and
other items are not included in the subsidy, and can be stored, at the typical Boomerang rate, by the student.
