If you are one of the thousands of students living in McGill University residences, the end of the winter semester means one thing: it’s time to move. Most McGill residence leases end in late April, and finding a place to put your belongings while you head home for the summer shouldn't be harder than your finals.
For many students, especially those coming from outside Quebec or outside Canada, transporting belongings home for just a few months doesn’t make sense.
Montreal is a city of stairs, narrow streets, and the infamous "Moving Day" chaos. At Student Storage Pros, we make sure your McGill move-out is the easiest part of your year.
Whether you’re flying home for the summer, traveling, or starting a summer internship, student storage near McGill is often the easiest solution.
Student Storage offers pickup, storage, and delivery services designed specifically for university students. Instead of hauling boxes across Montreal, our team collects your items directly from residence and stores them safely until you return.
Moving in the Milton-Parc "student ghetto" or out of the Upper Residences comes with specific hurdles:
The "Upper Rez" Hill: Dragging boxes from Molson, McConnell, or Gardner Hall down the hill to a waiting car is exhausting.
The Elevator Wait: Residences like New Rez and La Citadelle have high-speed elevators, but on move-out day, the wait times can be hours.
Montreal Traffic: Navigating a rental truck through downtown Montreal or the narrow streets near Solin Hall is a nightmare for most students.
When exams finish in April, most residence contracts end shortly afterward. Students often need storage because they are:
Returning home for the summer
International students leaving Canada temporarily
Starting internships or research placements
Moving between apartments in Montreal
Instead of transporting everything home, many students choose Montreal student storage during the summer months.
We Know Your Residence: Whether you're in Royal Victoria College (RVC), Carrefour Sherbrooke, or the Douglas Hall dorms, we know exactly where to meet you.

Storage bins
Small furniture
Typical summer storage costs between $300 and $600 for the entire summer, depending on the number of items stored.
Compared to renting a storage locker in Montreal or transporting items across the country, this is often the most convenient option.

Rent a moving truck
