Great so far. I found something in my price range and on the schedule that works for me.
Good because price is cheap with discount but I care more to make sure the safety
The entire process was so user friendly! Thank you! It took away a lot of the anxiety I had for booking a flight that matched my needs, travel time, layover time and price!
Cancellation is the worst. If a person mistakenly books a trip then will have to go with it. There is no room for changes and cancellation without a cost. Not within an hour of booking.
I had an amazing experience using StudentUniverse! I am excited to travel to China and improve my Mandarin skills. Choosing StudentUniverse at the last minute was the best decision I made. The prices of flights were sky-high, but thanks to StudentUniverse, I can afford my dream trip. It was incredibly easy to navigate through the website, unlike other sites where you have to search for student discounts. I am all set with my student ID and can't wait to embark on my adventure!
Found flights and then was able to easily purchase them but got confused on picking my seat in the flight
Hi Allyson, thanks for the review! Feel free to contact our 24/7 customer service and we would like to answer your questions regarding seat selection. Thanks!
My issue is that this website was not upfront with their booking fees. They offered the supposedly least booking price to get you hooked but after finalizing the booking, you'll realize that you have to pay other options such as seat selection and luggage fees. This company has deceiving business practices that will deter them from getting repeat customers. They even tried to defensively respond to my objective review instead of offering a resolution which made my customer experience worse.
Hi Donna, we display baggage info at the flight search result page and you can click the fare type to view it before you add the flight to cart. We follow the airlines' policy in terms of baggage allowance. Seat selection is not mandatory and you can always skip it before you finalize the payment.
I was shopping around for best flight deals and I found this site in the internet. It was the lowest price but then I found out that the seats selection and baggage need to be paid for after you booked with them. So I ended up paying paying more than I expected. I didn't want to cancel after I paid due to all the hassles. Be careful about student universe site. Make sure you understand all the details of the purchase before finalizing it.

Easy to navigate. Best price on the internet. Serif explanatory.
I love the simplicity in the processes. The fact that it's student friendly is so nice!
I was looking for a good flight to Vienna: convenient route and good price. StudentUniverse helped the graduate of three different universities.
Easy to book international tickets, better pricing and easy to use
Smooth booking process through this site, also prices didn't jump up like they do on other sites when you have to reload the page.
It was easy and fast it was very easy to go and see the flight information and had great deals with and good list of options and extras to add onto the flight
I love the discounted prices for students. I have been using StudentUniverse for 5 years, and have not had bad experience with the website.
