With the excitement of a new semester and moving into a new dorm or apartment, many may not be thinking about whether their belongings are covered. If you are a college student living in on-campus housing such as a dorm, your belongings may be covered under your parents’ homeowners or renter’s insurance policy. However, it is a good idea to go over their policy to be aware of coverage limits, and to make changes to their policy, if needed.

If you are living in an off-campus apartment, condo or home, you most likely will need a separate renter’s insurance policy. Obtaining renter’s insurance is quite simple and is relatively affordable.  Renter’s insurance includes different variations of coverage, but almost always includes:

  Personal Belongings Coverage

o   Coverage for stolen or damaged belongings.

Liability Coverage

o   Coverage for the student if he or she is responsible for someone else’s injuries or accidental damage to their property (including the landlord).

Additional Coverages

o   Coverage for specific, expensive items.
