A Superior Storage Solution — Just for Students.

Most colleges and universities don't offer storage to students during breaks or over the summer. This leaves students with an age-old dilemma: Find a way to pack, move and store their school-based items for three months and then, at the end of break, move it all back. The traditional solution — carving out a corner of Mom and Dad's basement — is a major hassle for everyone involved.

University Storage is the brainchild of two grad students who faced this same dilemma in their own college careers. When they decided to start a business to address the moving and storage needs of students, they realized universities already had a built-in resource they could tap: fraternities and sororities. By engaging student organizations at select colleges around the country, they get access to hands-on helpers who know their campuses and their fellow students better than any outside resource could.

Today, University Storage is the only college-focused moving and storage company with this business model. It's a win-win for everyone. Students get a great service from people they trust. And student organizations get to contribute to a growing and successful venture.

Better Service. Better Pricing. A Better Experience.

University Storage is a storage service run BY students FOR students. Because we partner with U-Haul®, one of the most trusted names in self-moving and storage, we are able to offer the best of both worlds. You enjoy quality service from fraternities and sororities you know and trust, but you also enjoy the support and security that comes from a professional, national corporation. Remember, at University Storage, we come to your room and pick up your boxes, we store them over the semester or summer at a professionally managed U-Haul® facility near your school, AND then bring the boxes back at a date of your choosing — and we do this at a price that won't blow your budget.
