As a university student or college student living away from home, whether you are in university halls or you are renting privately, you will need to insure your student accommodation and your belongings, or ‘contents’, as they are referred to by insurance companies.
As a student, you will require a specialist type of student contents insurance policy that covers your particular lifestyle. Many standard home contents insurance policies will not cover student living accommodation as they believe it represents a higher risk than a normal domestic home insurance policy.
You may be sharing your living accommodation with other students and you may not have the same levels of security that you enjoy when you live at home. You may have to leave your flat or room unoccupied but also unlocked for periods of the day, which again means that your insurance company will take into account when assessing your particular student possessions insurance requirements.
