Emory University: Should my student have renter's or personal-property insurance?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

Yes, it is strongly recommended. Emory does not insure a resident’s personal property against ordinary loss or damage.

Emory Housing recommends rental/personal-property insurance and explains that the University is not responsible for a resident’s belongings in the ordinary course. Families should review homeowner-policy coverage or purchase a student policy that matches the value and risks of the student’s property.
