Renter's insurance in college


  •  

Do I need to get renter's insurance if I'm living in a dorm or apartment at college? Or are my computer and other valuables protected under my parents' insurance even when I'm away from home?

It depends on the terms of your parents' policy, so you need to look at that or ask their insurance agent. It's not a bad idea for you to have some sort of coverage, because many policies cover laptops, which is likely to be the most valuable thing you own.
