In the United States, we make investments everyday in our health, family, and future. Investing in education is a large commitment that many parents take on to help their children start of the path to a successful adult life.
According to CollegeBoard.com, a leading information center for higher education, in 2011-12, 44 percent of all #undergraduate college students attended a four-year public colleges charging around $9,000 dollars annually in tuition and fees. This is relatively inexpensive when compared to private higher #education ($40,000 per year is not unusual) in the United States and does not include housing, food, books, and everything else todays college bound students need or want.
Laptops are a must for college students today, used for everything from communicating with friends and browsing the Internet, to writing papers and doing research. Though a valuable tool, laptops can be expensive, frequently costing upwards of $700.
One question that many parents would like to know the answer to is: Are items, such as a laptop that my child brings to school, still covered by my home insurance?
