It’s that time of year again. With summer drawing to an end, college students are packing the car in preparation for the upcoming school year. Mini-fridges, laptops, Ipods, and stereos – college kids have a lot of valuable stuff. Don’t make the same mistake most parents do and assume that these possessions are covered under the insurance policy of the school or the landlord – they’re not.

A student studying at the coffee shop on campus gets up to use the restroom. When he returns, his laptop is gone.

A student throws a big party for friends in her new apartment. It turns out not everyone at the party was her friend. When she woke up the next day, she realized her Ipod had been stolen.
