AAA is reminding college students as they are returning to campus to double check their insurance rates.
The U.S. Department of Education lists burglary as the most common crime on college campuses, with motor-vehicle theft second.
So as college students move back on to campus, AAA has provided some insurance tips:
- Expensive personal items such as computers, may be covered under a standard homeowner policy.
- For students living off campus, renter’s insurance can provide coverage for liability if someone is hurt.
- Keep an inventory of items in the dorm.
- Always lock your dorm-room doors and never leave them unattended on campus.
