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.

A straight forward experience
February 5, 2023

The booking had a little issue with confirming my card, after calling the office another card was presented and the booking was confirmed thereafter.

Costly ticket with less discounts
March 7, 2023

Ticket is costly considering i have purchased it more than 90 days earlier. Also, got less discount

Hi, sorry you felt that way. We totally understand that flight tickets are quite expensive compared to pre-covid, which was three years ago. However, the same flight departing on the same day shows $1,462 in total if booked directly with the airline. To be fair, you've saved ~$267 with us. On google flights, it states the lowest price was $752 if you purchased on Dec 17th, 2022. We would recommend you search and compare more and find the best deal. Good luck!

Easy to enroll with good ticket prices
February 4, 2023

It was quick to enroll and download the app (although not necessary to use the app). Once enrolled, the airline ticket options presented were very good ($500 cheaper than the airline's site). After booking, quick confirmation, including airline reservation codes, sent in an email.

Cheap flights
February 2, 2023

I was looking for a cheap flight from LAX to Copenhagen to be with my newly wed wife for two weeks and thought it would cost me at least $1500 but we found this site which the flight was only $500 saving us so much to spend on each other.

It is not legit company don't deal
March 3, 2023

I purchased from them twice, bought the tickets from Frontier, cheap bla bla bla
When I came to the airport, the Frontier rep told me that there is no ticket so that I have to call 3rd company to find out whats going on when I called them they just told me like my card didn't accept and that I received an email from them :) bull$#*!. I called my bank and canceled that transaction, bought ticket and flight by my self. The second time I tried one more time, :) they gave me the reservation code and in advance before to go to the airport I called frontier :) they said no ticket there :) thank god Bank of America knows how to act against these scammers, I took my money back. StudentUniverse you are on my black list and I will post your website as an scammers in my Instagram and facebook accounts.

Even ONE STAR is to much for you guys. I am legit here is my *******@parviz_america. I don't need anyone's attention but be careful with them! Don't buy or deal...
