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.

So far, so good. I have never used this site before, so I am unsure of total process success. But so far, so good.

Thumbs up
May 22, 2023

I'm new to this but it was very easy to work. It was really great getting notifications of when prices of a certain flight dropped. Even when it's last minute flights, the prices are still low.

Terrible site
June 17, 2023
Updated review

I booked two international flights and received no email confirmation, nothing at all! Nobody asked for my passport number. A full day went by without a word! I had to go back to the site I booked on to find the name of Student Universe and find a phone number for them just to have a guy in the Philippines tell me at first that I have no tickets but., oh, wait! Yes you do. I downloaded their app to my phone and yet it says I have no trips. I can't get my tickets to put in my wallet. So finally he sends me the tickets as a pdf! Seriously? Is that going to work at the airport?!? And then I get an email asking me for passport information. Not sketchy at all

Hi Judy, passport info is not required when you book flights in the US. A name and a DOB is sufficient to make a reservation. Some airlines may require passport info but we will contact the customer for such info. It usually takes 24 hours for the airline to process the booking, but sometimes it may take more. Our customer service could assist you to look up your booking and by now you have received the confirmation email with valid reservation code.
