I created OffToUni because, while there is a wealth of resources for students applying to university, parents and carers are often left piecing things together themselves- balancing their own anxieties while trying to be the ‘calm expert’ for their children.
As a parent of four - with one in their third year and twins in their second- I have lived the stress of the UCAS deadline, the sleepless night before results, the excited preparation, and the quiet heartache of move-in day.
Even with my professional background as a Cambridge-educated graduate, qualified teacher, and former Careers and Higher Education Adviser in a secondary school, I quickly realised that supporting your own children through these life-defining decisions is an emotional experience that no one really prepares you for.
OffToUni is the community I wish I’d had.
It is a dedicated hub where professional insight meets parental experience — bringing together everything you need, from application to graduation, in one place.
OffToUni exists to ensure you have the tools to support your child, and the support you need yourself.
