Student Survival Guide
Don’t leave home without ………..Contents Insurance!
It cost £900 to replace all the stuff stolen after an average burglary. Starting from around £18 per year, insurance is cheaper.
Students often own plenty of items attractive to thieves – take a look around you. A selection of just 20 CDs add up to £300.
Contents insurance policies provide the cover you need, taking into account your lifestyle and the fact your house is empty during the holidays, and will allow you to quickly replace what’s stolen.
Get is sorted before you arrive at college – many thefts take place within a few weeks of a new term and in the run up to Christmas as burglars start their Christmas shopping.
Shop around for the best price. If your bank balance can’t take it, think about insuring your most expensive or irreplaceable items like your laptop or bike individually.
Try to take most of your good stuff home during the breaks.
If you can’t, find our whether your accommodation provides a secure storage room where you can leave your stuff during the holidays.
Property Marking
Don’t just think about doing it. Use a UV pen and write your name, college name and student ID number on valuables. You won’t be able to see it under normal light, and it won’t damage your property. Get your free UV pen from Student Services.
Record the make, model and serial numbers of electrical equipment too.
