As incoming college students start to pack up boxes to move their belongings into a dorm room, they may be more preoccupied with the quantity of stuff (where is it all going to fit?) over the actual worth of it all.Between the computer, cell phone, TV and other electronics, the value of goods in a dorm room quickly adds up!
According the the U.S. Department of Education, there were about

INSURE YOUR VALUABLES
Students that can't bear to part with their myriad of electronics may want to consider getting insurance. College students in particular tend to have several thousands of dollars worth of devices on them at any given time. To help determine the amount of coverage needed, we suggest students ass up all of their big-ticket items and add an extra $1000 to cover any over-looked items.
Renters Insurance is a way for students to cover the cost of their valuables, and also insures a dorm room or apartment. For students living off campus this applies to you also! Landlords are only required to purchase insurance to cover the building but excludes any items inside.
Most students tend to assume they don't have that much valuable stuff, but if they were to lose everything, the cost to replace it all could be more then what you keep in your wallet.
