The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex stretches across 9,286 square miles with over 7.6 million residents, and its college students are scattered everywhere. SMU sits inside the Park Cities enclave near Uptown Dallas. TCU is 35 miles west in Fort Worth. UT Dallas occupies a suburban campus in Richardson, 20 miles north of downtown. The University of Dallas is tucked into the hills of Irving. Moving between any two of these campuses during finals week means navigating I-35, I-30, or the perpetually congested LBJ Freeway.

Storage Scholars eliminates that sprawl problem entirely. We pick up your belongings directly from your dorm room, store everything in a climate-controlled facility designed for Texas heat, and deliver it back when you return for fall. No U-Haul reservation. No 45-minute drives across the Metroplex. No melting candles in a 140-degree storage container.

Dallas summers are brutal. From June through September, daytime temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and overnight lows barely dip below 80. A non-climate-controlled storage unit in a DFW industrial park can reach internal temperatures above 140 degrees, hot enough to warp vinyl records, crack laptop screens, melt adhesives on furniture, and ruin medications.

Storage Scholars keeps your belongings in a climate-controlled facility where temperature and humidity stay consistent through the entire Texas summer. Our team picks everything up from your room before you leave campus, so you never have to load a truck in the May heat or fight for a parking spot at a self-storage complex on Belt Line Road.

Flying into DFW for your first semester? Love Field and DFW Airport are gateways for students arriving from across the country, but getting a carload of dorm supplies from baggage claim to campus is its own challenge. Storage Scholars' ship-to-school service lets you send boxes ahead of your arrival. We receive your shipments, hold them securely, and deliver everything to your dorm room on move-in day. No rental car, no rideshare overloaded with bins, no scrambling to find a Target on Knox Street before the shelves empty out.

Moving day in DFW means dealing with distances that other college cities never face. An SMU student transferring to TCU is looking at a 40-mile haul through some of the busiest highways in Texas. Even a simple move from an off-campus apartment near Greenville Avenue back to campus involves navigating narrow residential streets with minimal parking. Our moving team handles the loading, driving, and delivery so you can focus on finals instead of figuring out whether a futon fits in the back of a Civic.
