StudentUniverse generally enjoys a positive reputation for providing affordable travel options, particularly for students and young travelers. Customers frequently commend the competitive pricing and ease of booking, often highlighting significant savings on flights. However, the company faces notable criticism regarding its customer service, particularly during high-demand promotions, where long wait times and difficulties in reaching support representatives are common concerns. Issues with confirmation and communication further detract from the overall experience. While customers appreciate the value offered, enhancing customer service responsiveness could significantly improve satisfaction levels.

The customer service is uterrly incompetent. They lie directly to your face, and then play dumb when you come back and complain.
I had a flight credit from a canceled flight through Delta, but I had to call StudentUniverse in order to use it since I bought the flight from them. The customer service continually lied to me about getting in touch with Delta after I called them 3 times. They refused to help me on this, and I was not able to book the flight I had wanted due to their lies and lack of help. DO NOT USE THIS SITE!
The website is slow when loading, but other than that I had a good experience.
I purchased a $25 flight ticket through Amazon and Student Universe, but they failed to issue the ticket. It took two hours for Student Universe staff to answer my call, only to tell me the flight was sold out. However, I checked the airline's official website just a minute before the call, and the flight I wanted was still available.
This is completely unacceptable and feels like a scam. They wasted my time and energy, and I ended up having to book a ticket elsewhere at a much higher price. To make matters worse, they didn't even send me an email notifying me that my ticket wasn't issued—I had to discover it on my own.
This experience has been incredibly frustrating, and I wouldn't recommend Student Universe to anyone.
$600 discount on tickets. I waited 2 hrs on call for customer service and never reached a representative which is why im giving 4 stars instead of 5. But after sending an email to them, I received a response instantly. Thank you to Student Universe
It was really easy and fast. My experience was amazing with the website
Student Universe has made it easy to fly home for the holidays as a student as they consider many variables and offer great deals
I am grateful for the discounts I was able to see because of Student Universe. The site was easy to follow and booking was made easy.
It was great to utilize this student benefit provided by Amazon.
Smooth experience, fast and simple, good discounts but maybe could be higher since i did find flights cheaper than your website.
