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.

As the title describes,

There was no need to do additional verification for the card used. It is kind of pointless to assume the traveler and the card holder to be same person. In my case, it was luckily me.

What if I had used my family or friends's card for the moment?
The experience was not the best.

Hi, sorry you felt that way. We just want to make sure it is the card holder that authorizes the transaction in order to avoid cyber frauds. Cyber security is one of the crucial parts that we guarantee our customers. Thanks for your understanding.

Very quick, easy, no long waits
July 22, 2024

Called the helpline because of a mistake in my passenger information for a flight. I first called the airline and waited 2+ hours for a 2 minute conversation to be told to contact student universe. I dreaded having to wait again for so long, but, to my surprise, I only waited a couple of minutes and had my information updated and problem solved in minutes

The format is quite easy to use
July 22, 2024

I have used this platform multiple times and I find the simplicity of the app and website easy to use and convenient. However, I noticed a discrepancy in flight costs. For instance, if I select a certain date for a flight and then select flexible dates, I assume that it would find the cheapest flight amongst a range of dates. However, usually, that is not the case and I will have to go back and select a different date multiple times to find the cheapest flight rather than using the "Flexible Dates" button.

Trouble With Booking
July 21, 2024

At first, my booking didn't go through for no specific reason, so I had to call and fix that, which was annoying. Should have just booked directly through the airline
