    check your parents home contents policy, you'd be amazed at what was covered.... I was covered for all 3 years at university.

    I've never had mobile phone insurance, and now sucessfully claimed for 2 mobile phones (over the last 5 years) on my parents' home insurance policy....
  • It's definitely worth it - £43 is the cost of replacing 3 or 4 CDs or a textbook or two - do you own more than that?!!

    Certainly worth checking parents' policies, but not all will cover students NOT living in Halls.

    Though no-one can go back and make a brand-new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending.
