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.

Affordable flight booked
December 5, 2024

I was able to find an affordable flight - however, I wasn't able to compare prices for my selected travel date in a table with adjacent days; this feature used to be available, but doesn't seem to be active anymore.

I wish i could give a 0 star.

This is the worst website for flights please please please read this review and don't trust them.

I booked a flight through student universe and wanted to changed it… The customer service is the worst of the worst. Overall we spend 12+ hours with the customer service agents. Called them 5 times on an average spent 2 and half hrs on one call. This is very painful and stressful.

Even though we booked our flight through their website, they wanted us to reach out to airlines for a change because they where telling us the airlines blocked them from changing. But we contacted the airlines they said what student universe was telling us was untrue, they can totally change the flight and we didn't block them from changing.

Don't ever trust this website and their customer service…There are ton of 3rd party websites which are better and would rather spend that extra money booking directly from airlines than deal with a company like student universe.

Biggest regret booking with them. Hope this helps someone. I wish i could sue them honestly. Companies like this shouldn't be allowed to run.

Purchase was easy enough. However, I called in with a question and was on hold for 45 minutes without connecting. I then sent an email and haven't heard back yet.

Goodapp

Good app,This software is very user-friendly for new users. The only drawback is that it does not indicate whether the luggage transfer is checked in or the transfer terminal.
