Student Storage FAQ

Common questions from Penn and Drexel students.

How far is your storage facility from Penn and Drexel?
Self Service Storage Philadelphia at 2000 Hamilton Street is approximately one mile from both Penn and Drexel -- about a 15-20 minute walk or a 5-minute rideshare from both campuses. No car required.
Do you offer month-to-month leases for students?
Yes. All of our storage units are month-to-month with no long-term lease required. You pay only for the months you use, making it ideal for students who need summer storage or short-term storage between semesters.
What size storage unit do I need as a student?
Most students do well with a 5x10 unit. It comfortably fits the contents of a full dorm room or studio apartment including a desk, chair, bike, boxes of clothes, and small appliances. If you're storing just a few boxes and bags, a 5x5 will do. For a full off-campus apartment, consider a 10x10.
Can I reserve a unit online before move-out day?
Yes. Reserve online at any time -- no credit card required to hold your unit. Choose your size, pick your move-in date, and submit. We'll confirm by phone or email. Same-day reservations are also available by calling (215) 569-0732 during business hours.
Do I need a car to use your storage facility?
No. Our facility at 2000 Hamilton Street is accessible by foot, bike, or rideshare from both Penn and Drexel. We also sell moving supplies on-site including boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and locks -- so you don't need a separate trip.
Do I need climate controlled storage as a student?
For most students storing furniture, clothing, and general belongings over summer -- standard storage is fine. If you're storing electronics, musical instruments, or anything sensitive to heat and humidity, upgrade to climate control. Philadelphia summers can reach 95 degrees, which matters for sensitive items.
