It is reported that students on average take approximately £3,500 worth of possessions including laptops, ipods, mobile phones, stereos and cameras to university.The student lifestyle also lends itself to places of residency spending large periods of time unoccupied, with students being in lectures, libraries and out in the evening. Students are an ideal target for theft, with studies showing that students were twice likely to be targeted for burglary; “According to last year's Crime in England and Wales report, full time students were twice as likely to be burgled with 4.8 per cent being victims compared to 2.3 per cent of those in managerial or professional occupations.” The increased risk of being burgled coupled with the tight economic budget that many student’s live by, make student contents insurance a must. Student’s contents insurance covers student’s possessions while they are studying. Regardless of the type of accommodation student contents insurance covers student’s possession whether living in rented accommodation, shared houses or halls of residence. Student contents insurance generally works on a customised basis allowing students to cover the items that are most valuable to them. Student contents insurance enables students to insurance as many or as little contents as they require.
