Our Story

Made by college students, for college families.

We’re Noah and Jacob Mesa: brothers, college students, and the founders of UniStayCation.

Every college visit has a story. Move-in day. The first family weekend. A game you’ll talk about for years. Graduation. But planning those trips usually means a dozen tabs, a hotel that filled up months ago, and a Facebook thread full of restaurant tips.

We wanted to put the whole trip in one place: where to stay, where to eat, and what to do once you get to town. So we started building.

We didn’t do it alone. Our family helped from the very beginning, with ideas, feedback, late-night edits, and a lot of encouragement. That’s why UniStayCation feels the way it does. It was built by a family, for families.

What we believe

The trip matters as much as the destination.

The best visits leave room for the town, not just the campus.

Local is better.

We point you to the places students actually love, and we partner with the local businesses that make each college town special.

You’ll be back.

One visit becomes the next, so we’re here for every one of them.

Thanks for planning your visit with us. We hope it’s a good one.
