Storage Near Cal State Fullerton

Every May, we know it’s coming. Finals. Chaos. Parents in SUVs. Students calling us with the same breathless question: “Hey, uh… do you guys still have storage left for the summer?”

At Arovista Self Storage, we’ve helped hundreds of Cal State Fullerton students navigate the space crunch between semesters, roommates, and relocations. We’re not a big-box brand three cities away—we’re the Brea-based team who’s seen how student life actually plays out.

So whether you’re studying abroad, switching apartments, or just can’t fit everything into your Honda Civic again—this guide breaks down what CSUF students really need from storage (and how to do it right).

Why CSUF Students Store with Us (Over and Over Again)

Our student renters are smart. They don’t want to haul furniture across California—or cram four people’s worth of stuff into a two-bedroom with no closet space.

Here’s how they use Arovista:

Summer Break

Store your dorm setup while you head home. We’ve got students from the Bay Area, Arizona, the Central Valley—you name it.

Internships or Study Abroad

Whether it’s New York, Seoul, or six weeks in Sacramento, short-term storage saves you from starting over when you’re back in Fullerton.

Apartment Switches

Lease ended in June but your new place isn’t ready till July 10? We’ve had students drop half their apartment with us, crash with friends, then reload mid-month.

Shared Apartment Overflow

Roommate has two couches? Keep one here until someone else moves out. Happens more than you’d think.

Real Storage Tips (From Students We’ve Actually Helped)

Our team hears it all—and helps fix it. Here’s what returning students say makes a difference:

• Reserve early — especially after finals. We fill fast, and last-minute usually means the wrong size or no units left at all.
• Use the free truck — It’s hard to get a futon into a rideshare. If you’re within 10 miles, we’ll help with that first trip.
• Label for next semester, not just move-out. Future you will thank you. Color-code by roommate if you’re sharing a unit.
• Don’t store electronics in plastic bags — Wrap them in towels or anti-static material. We’ll even show you how on-site.

Why Arovista Works Better Than the Big Brands

We’re not a kiosk. Or a “chatbot” that doesn’t understand your lease timing. We’re the people who:

• Helped a CSUF grad student store her whole studio while interning in D.C.
• Held a unit for a student who needed a few extra days after finals
• Watched roommates combine into a single unit to split summer costs (we even gave them layout tips)

We’ve also had parents call us from out of state. You know what we tell them? “Yes, we’re five minutes from campus. Yes, we have cameras. Yes, we’ll help them carry the mini fridge.”

What We Recommend You Store

We’ve seen every student setup—from dorm minimalist to full furniture loadout. Most store:

• Bed frames and desks (pro tip: disassemble them first)
• Microwaves, fridges, fans — the dorm essentials
• Gaming consoles and monitors (use our on-site supplies or ask us how to pack safely)
• Luggage and off-season clothes — why bring it home if you don’t need it?
