I have always had trouble finding student deals as I am a non traditional student in her late twenties/early 30s. With prime student account I was able to get a good price.

This was my first time booking a flight and the way it is set up on Student Universe made the process very simple, I wasn't stressed at all. It was a great first time experience!

Cancelled my flight less than 24 hours after purchase (where I was supposed to be refunded the full amount), and they only got to my cancellation 5. DAYS. LATER. So they gave me a credit. A credit does not even include the money you spent, it just provides you with a replacement trip, no matter the price of the new flight. The flight now dropped half the price and so I basically lost half my money.
HOW, do you run a company and not respect your own policies? How do you only process a request for a cancellation 5 days later and then put it on me as a client, when I did my individual part and cancelled my trip during the allocated time in order to get a refund? It is your responsibility now as a company, to adhere to your own damn guidelines. Not to mention the phone line was backed up for 4 days. I called on a Thursday to also attempt to cancel my flight and they put my name on a list. You want to know when they got back to me? On a Monday. Not to mention that they have no problem calling customers back at the unreasonable times of 2 am and 5am.
Very extremely excessively dissatisfied with this service, I will NEVER be booking with this incompetent company ever again, and neither should you. Would give 0 stars if I could.
Oh & FYI, flighhub and kayak have better $#*!ing prices than this "Student" website bull$#*!.

I had the worst time with Studentuniverse.
I found a great price for a direct flight on united. I clicked on the flight and it loaded for a moment, then said "Sorry!" the flight wasn't available on the airline anymore. Fine. I can deal with clickbait sites giving one or two promoted prices for clicks.
I selected another united flight which was a little more expensive but still great. I went to book it but I every time I went to the payment page, it said my session was expired and I couldn't purchase the ticket. I tried reloading and using a different browser. The page would bug out even worse on safari.
So I called customer care. They asked me to verify my account by sending student documents. Fair enough. I typed up an email, the whole time the customer care rep on the other end kept confirming the details of the flight over the phone because apparently their website was facing issues. I was fine with booking it over the phone. Anything for that price. I sent them an email, then the person mentioned I needed to send MORE documents to verify that I was a student. Okay. I began to take more pictures. Halfway through, and this is at the 30 minute mark on the phone, the rep informs me that there is not, infact, a student deal on the flight I selected. He mentioned it was 300$ more expensive than the flight listed on the site. I was so done. After that, he had the audacity to ask me submit a bug report to their technical support, and to continue to find a student deal for a united flight on their site.
Never going back to this again.

I bought flight tickets through your website, but when I received then purchase confirmation, I couldn't find the information about the luggage allowance.
Affordable price

Thanks for the feedback! We've submitted a ticket to investigate and our customer service team also sent you an email explaining your baggage allowance. Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions or suggestions!
Reasonable price, great customer service. Easy and simple to use online booking system.
I am using this service more than 10 years without any issues. StudentUniverse give you choice to pick up the prices and dates from their calendar, anytime you call customer the live customer service is there to help you 24/7. Only thing in there website is No option to do the airline reservation for minors like other do, if you have minor traveling (under 13) you have to call the StudentUniverse to do the reservation and they charge $15 which is totally unfair.
