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.

Cancellation policy
March 19, 2024

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.

StudentUniverse Travel
March 7, 2024

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!

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.

Deceiving Estmate
March 17, 2024

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.
