"Working with University takes a lot of the stress out of our relationship with our children during the college search.

It made his (and my) life a whole lot easier.”

-Creighton University student
I would recommend UniVarsity. Looking back on it all, I don't know if I could have applied to as many schools, and spent as much time as I did on each application without your help and expert planning. I had time while many of my peers were scrambling. In the end, I had so many options. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't choose any other way.”
