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.

Good price.
August 16, 2024

I like your website. There are a lot of deals for little amount of money and as a student with little budget I can afford the tickets.

Fairly Ok
August 16, 2024

I didnt like the additional and unnecessary request of making me send pictures of the card used, ID of card owner, etc.
I was initially skeptical because I thought it was a fraudster, my mind wasn't at rest at all. Otherwise, the service was good.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Occasionally we will ask for additional personal information in order to verify that the individual making the purchase truly has authorization from the cardholder to make the payment. We never disclose such information to any third party. We are simply working to protect our customers, as well as cardholders, from any potential cyber scams. Purchasing travel can be a big purchase so we want to guarantee that any travel purchased with us is done so properly.

Terrible
August 15, 2024

Terrible - I tried booking a million times with multiple diff cards. Didnt go through, finally went through and then they sent me an email that it was cancelled. Then finally tried again the next day and then they didnt get confirmed. I inquired and they wrote to me asking for all my personal details and credit card and photo ID to make sure its a legit match. Only then they finally confirmed my booking.
