St. Louis is a two-campus college storage market with distinct logistical challenges at each school. Washington University sits on the western edge of the city along the border of Clayton and University City, with the 169-acre Danforth Campus nestled against Forest Park. Saint Louis University anchors Midtown, its campus stretching along Grand Boulevard between the Central West End and the Cortex Innovation District. Students at both schools face the same end-of-year problem: where does everything go in May when your lease ends or the residence halls close?

Storage Scholars serves both WashU and SLU with full-service student storage. We pick up your belongings from your room, store everything in a secure, climate-controlled facility, and deliver it back when you return in the fall. No renting a U-Haul. No navigating the tight turns in WashU's South 40 parking areas. No dragging furniture down Grand Boulevard in the Missouri heat. We handle the logistics so you can focus on finals.

St. Louis summers are punishing on stored belongings. Average highs reach 89 degrees in July, humidity peaks near 68 percent, and the combination creates conditions that warp wood furniture, degrade electronics, and promote mold on fabrics and paper. A non-climate-controlled self-storage unit on Manchester Road or Natural Bridge Avenue will expose your belongings to exactly those conditions for four months straight.

Storage Scholars stores everything in a climate-controlled facility with consistent temperature and humidity regulation. Whether you are storing a laptop, a microwave, winter clothes, or a couch, your items stay protected through the worst of the St. Louis summer. Storage periods align with each school's academic calendar, so you are covered from move-out through fall move-in.

Flying into St. Louis Lambert International Airport for the first time? Driving from out of state and dreading the packing logistics? Our ship-to-school service lets you box up your belongings at home and ship them directly to us. We receive your shipments, hold them securely, and deliver everything to your dorm room on move-in day. No overweight luggage fees. No cramming a minivan full of dorm supplies down I-64 through downtown.

Moving between dorms on the South 40 at WashU, transitioning from SLU's Grand Hall to an off-campus apartment in the Central West End, or relocating across town for a summer internship at the Cortex district -- our moving team handles it. We know the building access rules, the loading dock schedules, and the parking constraints that make campus moves in St. Louis uniquely frustrating.
