<p>mercymom, Being from out of state and talking to other OOSers about this, I consider myself a bit of an expert in this area.</p>
<p>I used Guardian Storage. One of thier locations is right in Oakland, near Pitt. I have no complaints. Friendly staff, clean facilities.</p>

<p>A lot of people I knew used Iron City Storage without complaints.</p>

<p>I am also familiar with The Lock Up- <a href=“http://www.thelockup.com/[/url]”>http://www.thelockup.com/</a>
and Moore Storage- <a href=“http://www.mooreselfstorage.com/[/url]”>http://www.mooreselfstorage.com/</a>
- people didn’t seem to have a problem with them</p>
<p>Those are the ones that I personally know of. Here is Pitt’s list of storage facilities:</p>

<p>That would be nice if Pitt could have that kind of service, but I just don’t think they have the room with the urban environment. All the places I listed, however, are reputable (I knew at least one person who used them) and with all of the schools in the area, they are all probably used to helping out college kids</p>
