Indiana University-Bloomington's campus is built from Indiana limestone -- the same stone that went into the Empire State Building and the Pentagon. It's consistently rated one of the most beautiful campuses in America. It's also a campus where over 45,000 students finish their spring semester within a few days of each other, and the ones in university housing face hard move-out deadlines. Residence halls close, room inspections happen, and everything you've accumulated over the year needs to be somewhere else by a specific time. Off-campus students along Kirkwood Avenue and the neighborhoods surrounding campus face their own lease turnover crunch every summer.

Storage Scholars is the #1-ranked student storage service in Bloomington search results. We earned that position by solving the move-out problem for IU students reliably, year after year. We pick up your belongings from your dorm room or apartment, store everything in a climate-controlled facility, and deliver it to your new room when you return. No renting a truck in a college town where every moving vehicle disappears in April. No hauling boxes from your fourth-floor dorm to a storage facility across town. No storing your stuff in a friend's apartment that's losing its lease next month anyway.

Bloomington sits in southern Indiana, where summers bring a combination of heat and humidity that catches people off guard. Average highs reach the upper 80s and low 90s, with humidity levels that make it feel oppressive. Winters swing the other direction -- temperatures regularly drop below freezing, with ice storms and snow. This kind of temperature range, from below zero to above 90, is exactly what destroys stored belongings in uncontrolled environments. Wood expands and contracts. Metal corrodes from condensation. Electronics fail from sustained heat exposure.

Storage Scholars provides fully climate-controlled storage that eliminates weather risk. Our team coordinates with IU Housing's move-out calendar, picks up from your room with packing supplies included, and keeps your belongings at a stable temperature from May through August. When Indiana's weather does its worst, your stuff is insulated from all of it.

IU draws students from across Indiana, the Midwest, and beyond. Many students come from the Indianapolis metro area (about an hour north on IN-37), Chicago, and neighboring states. If you're moving to Bloomington from out of state or prefer to travel light, our ship-to-school service lets you box up your belongings at home and ship them ahead. We receive your packages at our Bloomington facility and deliver directly to your dorm room on move-in day. Drive in without a packed car.

Whether you're relocating from a residence hall to an off-campus apartment along Third Street, moving from one side of campus to another, or heading home for the summer, our team does the heavy lifting. Bloomington's campus-area streets get congested during move-out, especially around the residence halls and the dense housing east of campus. The areas around Kirkwood Avenue and the Courthouse Square are particularly tight during peak moving periods. We schedule around the congestion and know which routes work.
