What Makes Self Storage Useful for University of Pennsylvania Students?

Housing and academic plans do not always line up neatly. Extra storage is helpful when you're:

Moving out of a residence hall for summer break
Studying abroad for a semester or academic year
Completing an internship, co-op, clinical placement, or research opportunity away from campus
Moving between a residence hall, University City apartment, or other Philadelphia housing
Sharing furniture and household items with roommates
Taking a semester off or traveling between academic terms
Graduating but not ready to move every belonging to a permanent home
Storing athletic gear, seasonal items, internship materials, or apartment furnishings

Choose a month-to-month rental period that matches your plans. Reserve without a credit card or complete the rental online before campus move-out becomes hectic.

Find the Right Amount of Space

List the furniture, boxes, luggage, and other belongings you plan to store. Once you know the volume of the move, use this guide to compare unit sizes:

5x5: Boxes, luggage, clothing, books, and small furniture; often enough for one student's essentials
5x10: The contents of a typical dorm room, including a mattress, desk, shelving, and several boxes
10x10: Furniture and belongings from a one-bedroom apartment
10x15: Shared apartment furniture or a larger move between leases

If several roommates need storage, combining their belongings in one larger unit may cost less than renting separate spaces. Use EZ Storage’s Size Guide or contact the facility team to find an appropriate unit size.
