Moving into a new dorm or apartment is a major milestone for college students, but losing their belongings to theft, fire, or other unforeseen circumstances can sour an otherwise exciting time.
Renters insurance protects students from the financial fallout of paying to replace belongings that have been stolen or damaged in covered events. To better understand college students’ attitudes toward renters insurance, how they shop for coverage, and how they use their policy, Insurify surveyed 750 U.S. college students with renters insurance policies.
