Moving Services in Raleigh
NC State's spring semester ends in early May, and suddenly 35,000 students are trying to move out at the same time. If you're in one of the residence halls on Centennial Campus or the older dorms on West Campus, you're competing for elevators, parking spots, and whatever truck rental is still available. Off-campus students in Hillsborough Street apartments face the same crunch -- leases ending, stuff piling up, and no good place to put it until August.
Storage Scholars handles the whole thing. We pick up your belongings from your dorm room or apartment, store everything in a climate-controlled facility, and deliver it back when you're ready for fall. No renting a U-Haul. No driving across Raleigh to a self-storage place off Capital Boulevard. No asking your roommate's parents to haul your futon in their minivan. You focus on finals, we handle the move.
Raleigh summers are hotter and more humid than most students expect. July averages hit 90 degrees with humidity that makes it feel over 100. If your belongings end up in a non-climate-controlled storage unit off Western Boulevard, you're gambling with heat damage to electronics, mold on clothing, and warped furniture.
Storage Scholars provides climate-controlled storage purpose-built for the North Carolina summer. Our team coordinates with NC State's housing calendar, shows up at your room with packing supplies, and handles the heavy lifting. Your items stay in a temperature-regulated facility from May through August -- protected from the heat, the humidity, and the summer thunderstorms that roll through the Triangle every afternoon.
Moving to Raleigh from out of state? A lot of NC State's student body comes from outside North Carolina, and driving a loaded car from New Jersey or Florida isn't always practical. Our ship-to-school service lets you pack your belongings at home and ship them ahead. We receive your packages at our Raleigh facility and deliver them directly to your dorm room on move-in day. Skip the 10-hour drive with a car packed to the roof.
Whether you're moving from a dorm on Main Campus to an apartment on Avent Ferry Road, switching to a house near Centennial Campus, or heading home for the summer, we handle the physical work. Raleigh's campus areas have their own quirks -- limited parking around Hillsborough Street, narrow lots behind older apartment complexes, and residence halls with specific move-out time slots. We navigate all of it so you don't have to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Storage Scholars ranks #2 for "Raleigh student storage" with our homepage, and our NC State-specific page ranks as well. We're a nationally recognized brand -- featured on Shark Tank and trusted by students at universities across the country. In Raleigh, we offer full-service pickup from your dorm or apartment, climate-controlled storage, and delivery. Unlike E.E. Ward Moving & Storage or Self Storage Brothers, we specialize exclusively in college students, which means our entire operation is built around academic calendars, dorm move-out rules, and the specific needs of students.
A basic self-storage unit near NC State costs $60 to $100 per month, with climate control pushing that to $80 to $140. Add in a truck rental, gas, and packing supplies, and a DIY summer storage setup easily costs $400 to $600 total. Storage Scholars' all-inclusive pricing covers pickup, packing supplies, climate-controlled storage, and delivery -- often landing in the same range as DIY but without any of the labor or logistics on your end.
Book Storage Scholars before finals week. We schedule your pickup around NC State's move-out calendar. Our team arrives at your residence hall or off-campus apartment, packs your items with our materials, labels everything, and transports it to our climate-controlled facility. You hand off your room key and walk away. When fall arrives, we deliver to your new room.
Yes. While NC State is our primary Raleigh campus, we also serve students at Meredith College, Shaw University, William Peace University, and Saint Augustine's University. We're also expanding Triangle-wide coverage to include Duke University and UNC Chapel Hill -- check back for a dedicated Durham/Chapel Hill city page.
Raleigh sees frequent thunderstorms from May through September, and occasionally remnants of tropical systems. Our storage facility is built to handle severe weather, and your belongings are stored in a climate-controlled environment that maintains stable temperature and humidity regardless of what's happening outside. All items are inventoried and insured.
Yes. Storage Scholars appeared on Shark Tank, which is why you'll see searches for "Storage Scholars Shark Tank" and "Storage Scholars net worth." The national exposure reflects the scale of our operation -- we're not a local Raleigh startup, we're a nationwide student storage company with deep expertise in college move logistics. Raleigh-area students benefit from that national infrastructure and experience.
Self Storage Brothers is a North Carolina-based chain offering traditional self-storage units. The key difference is service model: with Self Storage Brothers, you're renting a unit and doing all the work yourself -- packing, loading, driving to the facility, and repeating the process at move-in. Storage Scholars is full-service. We come to your room, pack your stuff, take it to storage, and bring it back. For a student in the middle of finals who doesn't have a truck, the convenience difference is significant.
