If you're a student at the University of Toronto, figuring out what to do with your belongings during the summer can be stressful. Every April and May, thousands of students living in UofT residences need to move out of their dorms — even if they plan to return in September.
Whether you're heading home for the summer, starting a co-op placement, or traveling abroad, hauling all your belongings across the city (or across the country) isn’t always practical.
That’s where Student Storage comes in. We provide pickup, storage, and delivery services designed specifically for university students. Instead of renting a truck or carrying boxes across Toronto, our team picks up your belongings directly from residence and stores them safely until you return.
The University of Toronto has one of the largest student populations in Canada, and thousands of students live in residence every year.
Many students live in residences such as:
Chestnut Residence
New College Residence
Woodsworth College Residence
Innis Residence
University College Residence
Victoria College Residence
St. Michael’s College Residence
When the academic year ends, most residence contracts require students to move out — even if they’re returning in September.
Many students face the same problem:
They’re flying home for the summer
They’re international students leaving Canada temporarily
They’re starting a co-op or internship in another city
They don’t want to move furniture back and forth every year
Instead of moving everything home, many UofT students choose summer storage in Toronto.
We designed our service specifically for students who live in dorms or small apartments.
Reserve your pickup date before residence move-out. Booking early helps secure a convenient time during busy move-out week.
Our team arrives at your residence or apartment and collects your items.
No need to rent a truck or carry boxes across campus.
Your belongings are stored securely over the summer in our storage facility.
When you come back for the next school year, we deliver everything back to your new residence or apartment.
Most students store items like:
Clothing
Bedding
Small furniture
Kitchen supplies
Books
Storage bins
Typical summer storage for UofT students costs between $300 and $600 for the entire summer, depending on how much you store.
This is often cheaper than:
Renting a storage locker in Toronto
Paying for a moving truck
Shipping items across Canada
Traditional storage can be complicated for students.
Most self-storage options require you to:
Rent a moving truck
Carry boxes down multiple flights of stairs
Drive across Toronto traffic
Load everything into a locker
Repeat the process again in September
