PROTECT THEIR POSSESSIONS
UNFORTUNATELY, many youngsters will fall prey to burglars while at university as student accommodation is attractive to criminals. That’s because they often contain a lot of expensive technology - not just one or two laptops, TVs and smart phones per home but sometimes half a dozen of each. With university being so expensive nowadays, the last thing you need is to have to help your child replace all their possessions after being robbed. So make sure they’re insured – the Halifax lets you add their belongings to the family’s home insurance policy so they’re covered while away at university if the worst happens.
