Boulder sits at 5,430 feet against the Flatirons, where the Great Plains meet the Rocky Mountain front range. CU Boulder's campus is beautiful -- Tuscan-style sandstone buildings, views of the mountains from nearly every quad, and the kind of natural setting that makes the university brochure sell itself. What the brochure doesn't show is what happens every May when 35,000+ students finish finals and the entire Hill district turns into a moving zone. The Hill -- the dense commercial and residential neighborhood directly west of campus along University Hill -- is where thousands of students live in apartment buildings stacked tight against each other. Moving day means double-parked trucks, blocked sidewalks, and a scramble for any available storage option.

Storage Scholars ranks #6 in Boulder's organic search results for student storage, competing with established local providers in one of the most active student storage markets in the country. We pick up your belongings directly from your dorm room or Hill apartment, store everything in a climate-controlled facility, and deliver it when you return to campus. No renting a truck in a city where Boulder's narrow streets and limited parking make DIY moving a headache. No hauling boxes down three flights of stairs in a Hill walkup while everyone on your floor does the same thing. No leaving your stuff in a non-climate-controlled unit where Boulder's extreme dryness and temperature swings can crack wood, warp vinyl, and degrade leather.

Boulder's climate is unlike any other college town. At 5,430 feet of elevation, the air is significantly drier than sea level. Humidity regularly drops below 20% -- sometimes into single digits. This extreme dryness is what causes wooden furniture to crack, guitar necks to warp, leather to dry and split, and vinyl records to become brittle. Pair that with summer temperatures that can swing 40+ degrees in a single day (from the 40s at night to the 90s in the afternoon) and you have conditions that stress-test anything left in an uncontrolled environment.

Storage Scholars provides fully climate-controlled storage that maintains stable temperature and humidity regardless of what Boulder's mountain climate throws at you. Our team coordinates with CU Boulder's Housing & Residence Life calendar, arrives at your room with packing supplies, and transports everything to a regulated facility. Your belongings stay in conditions they were designed for, not the thin, dry air of the Front Range.

CU Boulder draws students from across the country, with heavy enrollment from California, Texas, the East Coast, and internationally. Boulder is beautiful, but it's not easy to get to with a loaded car -- especially from the coasts. Our ship-to-school service lets you box up your belongings at home and ship them ahead. We receive your packages at our Boulder facility and deliver directly to your dorm room on move-in day. Fly into Denver International Airport, catch the Flatiron Flyer bus to Boulder, and your stuff is already there.

Moving within Boulder means navigating The Hill's packed streets, campus loading zones, and the residential neighborhoods that radiate outward from campus toward Pearl Street and beyond. The Hill is particularly challenging -- narrow streets, apartment buildings with no parking, and multiple students trying to move on the same day create gridlock. If you're moving from Baker Hall to a Hill apartment, from Williams Village to a house on Arapahoe, or anywhere else in Boulder, our team handles the route, the parking, and the heavy lifting.
