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.
