Student Possessions Worth 2.5bn

Students in the UK are collectively taking 2.5bn* worth of possessions with them to university this year, estimates Churchill Home Insurance. With nearly a million** undergraduates living away from home during term-time, parents should make sure their offspring are properly insured.

Gone are the days when young Britons slummed it during their university years.

Churchill Home Insurance estimates the average student insurance claim to be currently worth 852 and the average value of student rooms to be around 3,000. With 50 percent of Churchill Insurance's student claims for last year coming from their rooms being forcibly broken into, the need for insurance cover is clear.
