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.

Credid card was declined many times and i were unable to pay the same day as the original price, the next day i got charged 4 dollars more
The flight I originally booked was cancelled and the people were very helpful to look for a new flight that was the same price.

I'm always skeptical of apps that claim to cut costs of travel because there are often hidden fees and expensive mandatory accommodations, but I actually saved money booking from Zurich to Boston.

Sounds Great! Pre-flight, just booked havent flown yet id like to give feedback afterwards. The whole thing has been great till this point.
StudentUniverse had the best price among the TripAdvisor list I found for an international event I was told about with 3 months to plan. The process was straightforward.
I hadn't looked at the StudentUniverse emails after I booked it closely enough to know I needed to click a link to confirm the flights, so look out for the email.
Also, when I was looking at flight seats, the legend wasn't entirely clear. The two options below the green standard option had the same color box. The only way to differentiate between a seat with more room was the price range, which threw me off a little while I was trying to make the ~9 minute cutoff time with the price locked in.
Thanks for the review! We recommend booking 3-4 months prior to departure date for international flights for better prices.
Student Universe allowed me to book the cheapest fare that fit my needs, combining different airlines. That was extremely helpful!
