Student Storage in Miami
Every May, thousands of University of Miami, FIU, and Miami Dade students face the same problem: move everything home for summer, or find cheap local storage. Student storage near campus solves it — a shared 5x10 split between roommates costs less than shipping boxes home, and your stuff is waiting when fall semester starts. Facilities near Coral Gables and Sweetwater run aggressive student specials from April through August.
Why Choose Student Storage?
Skip the Summer Haul
Don't ship a dorm room cross-country. A 5x5 unit holds a full dorm room for under $70/month — cheaper than two-way shipping for most students.
Split with Roommates
A 5x10 or 10x10 shared between 2-3 roommates drops the per-person cost below a monthly Netflix subscription. Coordinate before finals week.
Student Discounts
Facilities near UM and FIU offer student specials: first month free, 10-15% off with student ID, and free moving truck or cart use during move-out week.
Study Abroad & Internships
Semester abroad or a summer internship in another city? Month-to-month leases mean you pay only for the months you need.

A 5x5 fits a typical dorm room: 10-15 boxes, mini-fridge, microwave, bedding, and clothes. Add a bike or small furniture and you want a 5x10.
