I think it's good. I can easily find the best flight, it would be better if you can do multiple flights checking at the same time.

I saved around $120 using StudentUniverse instead of booking directly through the airline. The site was really easy to use as well!

Reason I chose this business:

My study abroad advisor recommended StudentUniverse to me, and I saw how great the prices were on the site.

Service was good until they decided to send me a review and say it was a confirmation number which is why I'm only giving them four stars they should say please fill out a brief survey

I have enjoyed using StudentUniverse to book the flights I have made this year. My favorite feature is the Flexible search option, because that helps me choose the best price for travelling!

Reason I chose this business:

I'm a student who needed to schedule a flight for a study abroad, and StudentUniverse is very easy to navigate and pulls up flights that are generally cheaper than I was able to find anywhere else.

I had an emergency and needed to change my flight. They had no allowances for this. And the man I dealt with on the liken was quite rude. Not helpful at all.

"What are my legal rights for obtaining cash refunds from trips cancelled due to COVID?
When you purchase an airline ticket, you agree to certain terms and conditions set by the airline, and if purchased through us, StudentUniverse..."

Booked a ticket has a Transferring between HND and Narita but Japan doesnt allow tranfer.
Called Studenuniver they answer very simple to me that " this ticket are eligible for refund / change".
They confirm the ticket still valid, so we came to the airport but the airport cancelled our ticket and left us at the airport after 1 domestic transit.

Once I figured out how to use the system it was fine. There should be a way to pick 3 or 4 flights to compare them side by side, instead of getting out & back in over & over.

Reason I chose this business:

It was what the college uses & it did ha e cheaper flights then even going directly with the airline.

Interface is easy to use, however, it would be great if the website could also show the total number and weight of permitted checked and cabin baggages for ease of reference.

I waited on hold for exactly 8 hours and 26 min before Student Universe disconnected the call. My flight is booked for 3/15 and need to cancel due to Corona virus but have no way to get a hold of anyone at Student Universe! This company needs to have a way to cancel online or PICK UP THE PHONE! Unbelievably horrible customer service even in light of chaos of COVID-19. I sent a FB messenger and still no reply.
