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.

I purchased for my sister ticket under her name but after 15 minutes just to load the process to check out, the website said everything was all set but I cound not click into their link to check but I thought its fine. When the confirmation mail sent next day, it was under my name so I contacted their customer service about this. Long mails back and forward for 2 weeks including the time they said waitting for the technical team to check, they mail me with the word sorry, cant help cause my sister name is not on record. If it is on their record, why I have to mail them. They said cant overlap the rule to fix traveler name, but that is their fault. Now I have to pay double to buy the same ticket because raising price during waitting for their answer. And I check on reddit and quora, many customers lost their money because how useless the customer service team.

StudentUniverse attempted to help this customer through the SmartCustomer Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Amazing for students on a budget
August 14, 2023

Been using student universe for 4 years now, going between the UK and US for college (with other trips to the west coast and Australia for study). Never been let down, super easy to use, and affordable flights. I've always been given a lot of choices for my flight at different prices, so although I've had long layovers at times it's worth it for the savings. Absolute life saver for my uni experience!

Entering passport data issue
August 12, 2023

It is confusing to enter passport and birthday data. Therefore, I entered wrong date of my passport expiration. I tried to get customer relations reps to help me update my passport expiration date over the phone. They did updates but it doesn't show in both StudentUniverse app and website.
