StudentUniverse Reviews Summary

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.

Quick, honest, easy and the best prices in the market. At a time where all tavel websites use cookies to spike up prices if you take longer o hesitate to buy the first time. Student Universe is the only platform out there with a mission to look after the consumer.

Ok guys, you don't have to choose a seat, it is an EXTRA FEE.
The website tricks you into thinking that you have to choose a seat as a required material but it's not, you can continue to checkout directly. I thought I had to choose a seat, so I paid $60.00 extra fees for that which I am not willing to pay. BE CAREFUL.

Hi, we do not state seat selection is required. We also display a message "continue to checkout" so that you can skip. If you have paid for seat selection, you could contact our customer service team for a refund. However, some airlines may require a fee for selection. Sorry that you misunderstood the message.

Good

The whole booking process is a OK, only thing that makes a lot of trouble is it is hard to book a ticket with carry-on, luggage option, and the website is a little slow
