For a lot of college students the very last thing they think about is health insurance as is shown in some recent figures which show that about 1 in 3 college students do not have any form of health insurance coverage. Starting university is an expensive undertaking and merely finding the money you have to have and getting your college loans is difficult enough, but you ought to also consider including some form of low cost health insurance along with everything else you will need to have.

You should naturally begin by looking at your parents’ health insurance plan if this is applicable as it is quite possible that this will include cover for you during your time at university. You do however have to read through the small print very carefully because some plans will cover you while you are away at university while other plans will not. Two things to look for especially are conditions concerning location and age.
