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 affordable price
April 11, 2023

I could not find any better site to book my flight as a student. All other sites had expensive flights prices but student Universe was the most affordable for me.

The hidden fees and gamesmanship of your customer service reps is boarder line illegal and should be reported for fraud

Above Expectations

The easy way of booking and the amount of savings you save when booking. As a college student is hard to find a cheap flight.

Better off booking on the airline website
May 8, 2023
Updated review

I booked a flight on Copa airlines through SU and after purchasing I was on the Copa website and saw they offer an Economy+ ticket that includes seat selection as well as one checked bag. The economy+ ticket would have saved me money but SU did not show me that as a potential option and so I booked the basic ticket and now have to pay for seat selection and my checked bag a la carte.

When I called SU to see if they could refund my ticket so I could purchase the ticket that is the better deal they told me they could not and I needed to contact Copa directly, which I did. Copa informed me that because they did not receive funds, SU did, that Copa could not do anything for me and I needed to call SU again. Im sure you can see my frustration here. Upon calling SU back they told me I would have to email - not call - someone else to manage this. Given that I only had 24 hours to cancel without penalty the idea of communicating through email seemed dicey.

I ended up sticking with the original ticket because it was not worth any more of my time and energy to rectify this, leaving me disappointed with the processes, the customer service and SU.

StudentUniverse attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond
