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.

Good discounts
November 9, 2023

Big discount from original provider. Emails after are a little unclear but I think it will work itself out.

Buy ticket or not?
November 9, 2023

I never advise someone to buy a ticket from this company because they ask you for too many documents, like a credit card picture front and back, passport, student permit support, and very terrible customer support. Do not be greedy for a little lower price. Even for review, they ask to prove. I advise buying from Flighthub, which was my previous ticket.

Hi, sorry you felt that way. We just want to make sure it is the card holder that authorizes the transaction in order to avoid cyber frauds. Cyber security is one of the crucial parts that we guarantee our customers. We never ask for the full digits of the card number nor the CVV. Thanks for your understanding.

Price dropped after my booking
November 8, 2023

I like using StudentUniverse to book flights, but this time, price dropped after my booking and I got several emails about "did you book your trips?" after booking my trip.

Good prices, not guy payment method
November 7, 2023

I got a good deal, but I couldn't check out with PayPal, I always use PayPal when I'm buying something expensive, so I can divide the cost, but the website forced me to use my credit card so now I have to pay $500 in one go ‍

Hi, sorry that we do not support paypal at the moment. We do accept major credit/debit cards such as mastercard and visa, in many cases, amex and discover as well.

Not good
November 7, 2023

Not a great service, I booked my flight and got sent my confirmation email just like you would on any travel agency, but then I started to receive a spam of emails asking for more card details, saying that the airline had contacted them saying there was a was an issue, when I emailed back to see what was wrong all they would do is ask for card information again very sketchy
