While I can't recall the last time I actually went into a travel agency to do my travel planning, when I did, I used travel cuts.
This travel cuts is located at York University. Travel cuts was staffed by some older people but friendly nonetheless. They have a great clientele in the student body, from people planning travel for exchange to people doing their graduation trips to people planning their trips back home for breaks or summer.
It's very useful for students and I believe really caters to students. From getting your ISIC card (discount card internationally for students) to rail passes and other student specific items, they really can help you prep for and save on a trip abroad.
While I know that I could do much of the booking on my own, there is something to be said about a service that does the prepping and searching that goes into a trip. And as a student you probably shouldn't be surfing the net looking at travel deals instead of studying for that big midterm.
Overall an a-ok because at the end of the day, you can still get the deals etc on line. read more
