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.

I hope I can get the time conformation code in 24 hours next time.
Overall, I had good experience with StudentUniverse. I used them to be able to book a holiday deal, which I understand is going to have a high volume of people, but the way the queue worked was a bit confusing with not much information and then randomly getting put into picking your flight. I enjoyed being to see the flights beforehand and the structure of the website is very well, I would only say that the queue times are a bit weird. I would suggest having an estimated wait time or place in queue that you can visibly see. Overall, I got my flight and was very happy with my experience! Will be using more.
This crossover promotion between Amazon and Student Universe truly was a blessing to me and many other people. I am glad I was able to receive something from this. Improvements can be made so that this event can be better in the future. One of the biggest things is having a more structured system for people getting in line early. Waking up at 6am for something that doesn't open till 1pm is absurd. Especially when your tab/device can be reloaded at any instance. This cause people to lose spots in line and have to wait just to find out the site was sold out. Either moving up the opening time, of having a stable page that people who are already in can wait on would be much better than automatically loading people in and hoping they can stay on for the entire duration.
Very simple, great quality, and really helpful when I needed assistance.
Great customer service very easy answered my questions i would definitely recommend
Not much to say, It was a simple purchasing experience! Would purchase through Student Universe again!
This might have been because this website never experiences this much traffic but the website didn't let me go anywhere else other than the waiting list for the "$25" flight tickets. I accidentally bought some travel insurance that didn't say it would cost anything and when I go to try to get a refund, I call them back for three days in a row and I can't get through the hold phone once. I've waiting on call for hours at a time.
I am very grateful for the discount and ability to see my family during my winter. But the process of getting the tickets could've been set up better. I kept my page up for only two days and my girlfriend had hers on for the entire time the deal was offered and didn't make it in.
I booked a flight from Student Universe traveling from London Heathrow to San Francisco via Lufthansa/ United Airlines code share. I initially received a confirmation and itinerary and was satisfied until 1) They lost my booking info per the website update without any attempt to send me a copy of booking info via email 2) My booking was deemed illegitimate due to payment discrepancy- I had no communication that a payment was unsuccessful from Student Universe until attempting to check in at the gate and being informed that there was no booking per the airlines' records. The lack of communication/ word from SUN is simply horrid. In addition, I was left hanging multiples times from customer service and had no responses from multiple email exchange requests. Avoid if possible.
Easy to book and easy to apply coupons. Make sure to choose the right type of ticket
My booking experience was pretty easy flight selection was not great but i booked rather last minute.
Easy to find good trips and cheap trips. The website is very easy to use and it helps other to find new flights easily. Also the prices of the plane tickets are nice.
Smooth booking. Everything was great while booking my reservation
I got my confirmation immediately and am excited to fly to my destination
