Corvallis is a college town in the truest sense. Oregon State University is the city. With about 34,000 students in a city of roughly 60,000 people, OSU's academic calendar drives nearly everything -- including the annual spring move-out scramble. When residence halls like Bloss, Finley, and the West side dorms empty in June, the storage options in this small Willamette Valley city fill up fast. There are only a handful of self-storage facilities within reasonable distance of campus, and they know the student demand cycle. By May, the affordable units are gone.

Storage Scholars takes the scramble out of the equation. We come to your dorm room or off-campus apartment, pick up your belongings with packing supplies included, store everything in a climate-controlled facility, and deliver it all back when you return for fall. No renting a truck in a town where availability disappears weeks before move-out. No driving your stuff 80 miles to Portland or Salem because Corvallis facilities are full. No leaving your belongings in a unit where Oregon's persistent rain and moisture seep in over a damp Pacific Northwest summer.

Oregon's Willamette Valley doesn't get Texas heat, but it has its own storage challenge: moisture. Corvallis averages over 40 inches of rain per year, and the climate stays damp well into summer. That persistent moisture is the enemy of stored belongings. Non-climate-controlled storage units in Corvallis accumulate condensation, especially during temperature swings between cool nights and warm days. Mold grows on fabric and leather. Wooden furniture swells and warps. Books mildew. Metal corrodes. Electronics develop moisture damage that you won't notice until you plug something in six months later.

Storage Scholars provides climate-controlled storage designed for Pacific Northwest conditions. Our team coordinates with Oregon State's housing calendar, arrives at your room with packing supplies, and handles the entire move. Your belongings stay in a temperature-and-humidity-regulated facility from June through September -- protected from the damp conditions that make Corvallis beautiful but tough on stored items.

Corvallis isn't exactly easy to get to. There's no major airport -- the closest is Portland (PDX), about 85 miles north. Many OSU students come from Portland, the Bay Area, Southern California, and out of state. Driving a loaded car across Oregon's mountain passes or up I-5 with a car full of belongings isn't always feasible, especially for freshmen. Our ship-to-school service lets you box up your belongings at home and ship them ahead. We receive your packages at our Corvallis facility and deliver them directly to your dorm room on move-in day. You make the trip to Corvallis light.

Whether you're moving from Bloss Hall to an apartment on Monroe Avenue, switching from Finley to a rental near downtown, or heading home for the summer, our team handles the physical work. Corvallis is a small town, but OSU's campus is compact and parking near the residence halls is extremely limited -- especially during move-out when every student is loading cars simultaneously. The streets around campus aren't built for heavy traffic. We know the loading zones, building access points, and the best times to move to avoid the worst congestion.
