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.

This place had the single worst customer service I have ever received. I simply wanted to change a flight and I had to spam call, wait on hold for hours on end, reach out to my school for a better student universe contact, overall just a nightmare for the last couple weeks. I emailed twice and never heard back. When I finally got ahold of someone she was super rude to begin with, then charged me 665 dollars to change my flight. An extra 140 dollars for the "student universe services", yeah amazing service. I'm a student i'm not going to go out of my way to write reviews. Just be warned when you book with student universe.
It was cheaper than other websites using the Black Friday deals. Love it!
Very simple, great quality, and really helpful when I needed assistance.
Cheap, bad site, no service maybe others have had a better experience than me but it was not worth it for me.
Easy to book and easy to apply coupons. Make sure to choose the right type of ticket
I failed to submit the payment for so many times...please improve on that
I got my confirmation immediately and am excited to fly to my destination
I tried to contact so many times, waited on calls for hours and hours no one picked up. Nobody responded to my emails even though I bought premium service. I am giving three stars because booking went through easily
Booking this flight was not a problem.
But at first I was not able to confirm my student status by myself on the website. It was only possible after calling the hotline and waiting in line for 4h. Then, my other booking had a mistake because the Passenger information changed to a different name since I booked from a different account (I couldnt confirm mine). The waiting line on the phone takes long and sometimes people hang up on you. The company was not able to help with this wrong ticket, not even with a charge. Therefore, I lost the money for the other booking.
Great. I found a good flight through studentuniverse. Thanks
It was good and nice and easy to use. Flights were also cheap.
The process was easy to navigate. It did not take too long to book flight.
I was linked to StudentUniverse through Kayak, and I was able to find a flight at a great price. However, the look and feel of the website immediately made me suspicious of it; was I about to get scammed? Additionally, it felt very busy and a little difficult to navigate. A more streamlined feel would help. Lastly, while my confirmation email was immediate, it had no itinerary information on it. To get my itinerary, I had to click a link and log in to the website. This is super cumbersome. The itinerary hit my inbox the next day, but why have a delay? Send that itinerary with the confirmation like every other service!
Best website for students with the best discounts especially for travel
I was looking for a cheap and convenient flight to flight from the US to Europe and I easily found it
Professional service cheap flight options
Great job ………….
Smooth booking. Everything was great while booking my reservation
I was required to purchase my airline ticket from this third party seller, and I thought I would be able to get a good price on my tickets because it is geared towards students. However, the prices were identical to the prices I found for a google flight search, which was really disappointing. The process for purchasing the ticket was smooth so far however. I guess we'll see if I have any problems at the airport. I was also disappointed that I couldn't buy my luggage fee now and I need to wait.
