Every September, Boston transforms into a moving frenzy. The city issues over 4,500 moving truck permits in August alone, with 2,500 packed into the final weekend before September 1. Red Sox games at Fenway Park overlap with move-in weekend, gridlocking entire neighborhoods. Parking restrictions sweep through Allston, Fenway, Mission Hill, and Roxbury while students from 60+ colleges scramble for storage and moving help.

Storage Scholars takes the chaos out of the equation. We pick up your belongings directly from your dorm room, store everything in a climate-controlled facility, and deliver it back when you return. No moving trucks. No parking headaches. No fighting for elevator time on September 1.

Boston summers bring heat and humidity that can damage electronics, wooden furniture, and clothing stored in non-climate-controlled units. The average self-storage unit in Boston runs about $265 per month, and most require you to transport your own items.

Storage Scholars offers a better option. Our team picks up your belongings from your room before you leave for summer. Everything goes into our secure, climate-controlled facility where temperature and humidity stay consistent all season. When fall arrives, we deliver everything back to your new room. You never have to rent a truck, reserve a parking spot, or haul boxes across campus.

Heading to a Boston college for the first time? Skip the cross-country drive. Storage Scholars' ship-to-school service lets you send boxes ahead, and we deliver them to your dorm room on move-in day. No navigating Boston's one-way streets or circling for parking in Back Bay.

Boston's move-in logistics are notoriously difficult. The city's September 1 lease cycle means thousands of students move simultaneously, and locals call the annual chaos "Allston Christmas" because of all the discarded furniture lining the sidewalks. Our moving team handles the heavy lifting so you can skip the street-level scavenger hunt and start the semester settled.
