Had a great experience with Storage Scholars this summer. The pickup and drop off process was smooth and easy to schedule, and everything came back in the same condition I left it in. Lucas Mendiola was super helpful and made the whole thing stress free. Would definitely use them again next year and recommend them to anyone at OSU who needs a simple storage solution over breaks.

John, Clint, Lucas, and Jade-la were amazing! We pulled up at Rollins College to move my daughter into her room. They cheerfully said hello and got to work, moving all of our suitcases, boxes, and bags into my daughter's dorm room! All I carried was my purse! Seeing such friendly faces making our life so much easier on such a hot day was the highlight of the morning! It set the tone for a great school year ahead!

I can't say enough good things about Storage Scholars! We have a freshman at UVM and trying to navigate the move out of the dorm room long distance could have been extremely stressful -- but not with the exceptional customer service this company offers. First, the amount of flexibility Storage Scholars offers is incredible. I couldn't get my kiddo to give me a firm number of things we needed to store...I called customer service and was told that if we needed to add additional items, we just needed to let them know prior to pick up. What?? How easy is that?? Each time I called I was stressed out -- and each time, the incredible folks answering the phone were compassionate, patient and understanding. I have to say there were two standouts in this regard: Olivia and Devine were so personable - I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my interaction with each of them...they truly talked me off the ledge when I couldn't get my child to engage! THANK YOU to Olivia, Devine, and Storage Scholars. We will use your services for years to come!

Storage Scholars is a dream come true! Pack up and pick up in May was easy - and delivery to the new dorm last weekend was EVEN BETTER! This mom is never lifting another box and couldn’t be happier!

These movers were a godsend! They were so helpful and efficient at my daughter's college move-in day. Even in the sweltering heat of a Florida summer, they were good-natured and quick-moving. Great business!!!

I used storage scholars for my college move-in. It was super easy, and they were so on top of it. I would highly recommend this service. It makes move-in feel much less stressful, and everyone that works here is super friendly and helpful! I worked specifically with Kayla Frazier, and she was super communicative and helpful! I will definitely be using them again!

Rodney Lavodrama was awesome in helping me move in. Things came very quickly and there was a good line of communication. Furthermore, when I needed the things moved to a different place he came back and took it up the stairs to my room. To top things off I mentioned I didn’t know how to raise my bed and he tried for 10 min and when he couldn’t get it, came back 30 minutes later with a hammer and did it! Also, offered to help me move more of my stuff. Excellent experience and customer service.

Fast and expedient service. Used them once before and it went very well. This time, the pick up process with Sadaf was very easy and essentially hands-free. Much more convenient than using a self storage solution.

The team was super communicative, easy to get ahold of, helpful, and kind. I have had a great experience using their team and it has made moving so much easier. They picked up all my things quickly, ensured they were properly labeled, and made my life 10x easier. I really appreciated how the team contacted me as soon as I made an account to make sure I understood the different types of services they could offer me and help me choose the best plan.

FAQs

Everything families ask before booking: how pricing works, storage terms, move dates and what is included.

How does Storage Scholars pricing work?
Pricing is per item and per size tier, published on the pricing page and in the online calculator, and billed across the storage term. Every item is measured and priced at pickup, and the itemized breakdown is visible in the online portal before delivery, so families see exactly what they are paying for. Storage Scholars’ 2025 average was $172 per month.
What storage terms are available?
Three: Summer storage (up to 120 days), Short Term (up to 30 days, for winter break or a quick gap) and Abroad (up to 270 days, covering a full term overseas). Complimentary move dates are timed to the start and end of each semester so study-abroad students are covered both ways.
Are pickup and delivery included?
Yes. Pickup and delivery are included on each campus’s scheduled dates, timed to finals week and move-in week. Custom dates outside those windows are also available.
How are belongings protected?
Every item is measured, photographed and logged into a digital inventory at pickup, then held in secure, climate-protected storage. Every order includes protection at no cost, with $1,000 and $2,500 coverage levels available when you book. In 2025, 98.6% of orders were completed with no claim filed, compared with an industry average of 82.3%.
Who handles the move?
Storage Scholars’ own trained, background-checked and uniformed crews, including student movers who have completed the company’s certification program. At Key Access partner campuses the team sets the room up before the student arrives.
What are Storage Scholars’ credentials?
Storage Scholars L.L.C. is a legitimate, federally registered North Carolina company incorporated in 2017: BBB Accredited with an A rating, registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT 4067000, MC 1544271), backed by Mark Cuban since its 2022 Shark Tank appearance, and an official moving partner at universities including Georgetown, James Madison, Villanova, Florida Atlantic and Ball State.
How does the cost compare with doing it yourself?
Storage Scholars’ 2025 average was $172 per month. A do-it-yourself move, counting packing supplies, a truck or movers at both ends, a summer self-storage unit, and a parent’s flights, hotel, food and time off, totals $3,684 or more.
Which schools does Storage Scholars serve?
More than 200 campuses nationwide, including Brown, Columbia, NYU, Northwestern, MIT, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Duke, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, UCLA, USC, Virginia, Wake Forest, Elon, High Point, Villanova, Syracuse and TCU, with storage located near campus through the SIRVA network.
