Summer Storage for Ann Arbor Students
Ship-to-School Services
Moving Services in Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor revolves around the University of Michigan, and every April the same scramble plays out: 47,000 students trying to figure out where to put their stuff for the summer. Local self-storage facilities fill up fast. Friends with trucks are suddenly very popular. And Michigan's weather makes choosing the wrong storage solution a costly mistake.
Storage Scholars takes the complexity out of summer storage. We pick up your belongings directly from your dorm or off-campus apartment, store everything in a climate-controlled facility, and deliver it back when you return in the fall. No truck rental. No driving to a storage facility on State Street. No worrying about whether your laptop survives a Michigan winter in a non-heated unit.
The window between spring finals and summer break is tight. Most students need to be out of university housing within days of their last exam, and finding a self-storage unit on short notice in a town of 120,000 people (half of them students) is harder than it sounds. April is peak booking season, and prices spike.
Storage Scholars aligns our pickup schedule with UMich's academic calendar. Book early (March or April), and our team handles the rest. We arrive at your room with packing supplies, load your belongings, and store everything securely until August or September. No competition for units. No last-minute scramble.
Incoming freshmen and transfer students can ship their belongings to Ann Arbor before they arrive. We receive packages and deliver them to your dorm room on move-in day. This is especially useful for out-of-state students who'd otherwise need to pack a car for the drive to Michigan or pay for excess airline baggage.
Whether you're switching from North Campus to Central Campus, moving from a dorm to an off-campus apartment on South University, or heading home for the summer, our team handles the physical work. We know the Ann Arbor campus layout and the logistics of moving in and out of university housing.

Frequently Asked Questions
The best option depends on whether you want to handle the move yourself or have someone do it for you. Local self-storage facilities like Inn Storage and Devon Self Storage offer affordable monthly rates, but you need to transport your items, buy supplies, and manage the move on your own. Full-service options like Storage Scholars and Storage Squad handle pickup, storage, and delivery. Storage Scholars differentiates by providing free dorm room pickup, climate-controlled storage, and delivery to your next residence, all included in one price.
Climate-controlled self-storage in Ann Arbor averages $142 per month. A 5x5 unit costs about $69 per month, a 5x10 around $114 per month. Inn Storage offers a popular term-based deal at $549 for a 5x10 covering the summer. These prices don't include moving costs. Storage Scholars' all-inclusive pricing covers pickup from your room, packing supplies, climate-controlled storage, and delivery back to campus. Contact us for current rates.
Yes, strongly recommended. Ann Arbor experiences extreme temperature swings: winter lows below zero degrees Fahrenheit and humid summers. Non-climate-controlled units expose your belongings to condensation, mold, and temperature damage. Electronics are particularly vulnerable. If you're storing anything you'd be upset to lose (laptop, furniture, clothing, books), climate control is worth it. All Storage Scholars storage is climate-controlled by default.
Yes. We serve all University of Michigan campus housing, including North Campus dorms (Bursley, Baits), Central Campus (South Quad, East Quad, West Quad, Mary Markley), and off-campus apartments. Our team coordinates pickup timing with your move-out schedule.
The University of Michigan's "Student Storage Permit" is for vehicle parking, not belongings storage. It allows students to park their car in designated lots (NC32 on North Campus and SC34 on South Campus) during periods when they don't need daily access. If you need to store your belongings (furniture, boxes, electronics), that's a different service entirely. Storage Scholars handles belongings storage with pickup and delivery.
April is peak demand. "University of Michigan storage" searches spike to 110 per month in April (up from 20 in winter months), meaning students are booking fast. We recommend reserving your spot by late March or early April, well before spring finals. Early booking also ensures you get your preferred pickup date.
Absolutely. A 5x5 unit (25 square feet) works for 1-2 students with typical dorm items. A 5x10 (50 square feet) is popular for 2-4 students splitting costs, with enough room for futons, desks, chairs, and multiple boxes. Sharing is one of the best ways to reduce your per-person cost. Storage Scholars helps you estimate the right size based on your combined inventory.
