College Student Health Insurance

Getting sick can create a disaster for college students for a number of reasons. First, if you end up missing class you are behind in your studies and need to gather notes from classmates. Second, where do you go to the doctor?

Many colleges offer cheap or "free" (included in the fees everyone pays) health insurance for its students. This usually includes a list of commonly used medicines, basic health exams, mental health counseling and preventative services like birth control.

If you would like more information, contact your local campus health department and ask them about it. You may already be covered, or could be for a small fee.
