Atlanta is one of the largest college cities in the Southeast, home to a concentration of universities that few metros can match. Georgia Tech anchors Midtown with 44,000 students. Emory sits in the leafy Druid Hills neighborhood east of downtown. And the Atlanta University Center, the oldest and largest consortium of historically Black colleges and universities in the nation, brings together Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, and Spelman College on adjacent campuses just west of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Georgia State University adds another 54,000 students in the heart of downtown.

Every May, thousands of these students face the same problem: Georgia Tech's housing office states explicitly that students "must vacate rooms and cannot store items over summer." Emory, Morehouse, Spelman, and Clark Atlanta enforce similar policies. You have days to clear out your room, and nowhere on campus to put your stuff.

Storage Scholars solves this. We pick up your belongings from your dorm room, store everything in a climate-controlled facility built to handle Atlanta's punishing summer humidity, and deliver it all back when you return in August. No renting a truck on Peachtree Street. No hauling boxes in 95-degree heat. No gambling that your futon survives a Georgia summer in a metal storage container.

Atlanta summers are defined by heat and humidity. From June through September, temperatures hover in the low to mid 90s and humidity regularly exceeds 70 percent. That combination creates conditions where mold can bloom on fabric within weeks, particleboard furniture swells and warps, and electronics corrode from persistent moisture exposure. A non-climate-controlled storage unit in an industrial park off Fulton Industrial Boulevard becomes a steam room by July.

Storage Scholars stores your belongings in a climate-controlled facility where temperature stays below 80 degrees and humidity is actively managed. Our team picks up directly from your room at Georgia Tech, Emory, Morehouse, Spelman, or Clark Atlanta, so the only thing you need to worry about during finals week is finals.

Flying into Hartsfield-Jackson, the busiest airport in the world, for your first semester? The airport is 10 miles south of downtown Atlanta, and getting from baggage claim to campus with a car full of dorm supplies means navigating the I-85/I-75 connector, one of the most congested stretches of highway in the Southeast. Storage Scholars' ship-to-school service lets you send boxes ahead. We receive your shipments, store them securely, and deliver everything to your dorm room on move-in day. You walk off the plane with a backpack and arrive at a fully furnished room.

Atlanta's campus neighborhoods each have their own moving-day headaches. Georgia Tech sits in Midtown where one-way streets, construction detours, and MARTA rail crossings create constant bottlenecks. The Atlanta University Center campuses share narrow streets that become gridlocked when multiple schools schedule move-in on the same weekend. Emory's Druid Hills location means winding residential roads with limited truck access. Our moving team knows these campuses and handles the logistics so you can avoid the stress of a U-Haul on North Avenue during rush hour.
