Georgia Tech: Should my student have renter's or personal-property insurance?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

Yes. Georgia Tech encourages residents to insure their personal property because the Institute's coverage does not protect a student's belongings.

Housing's personal-property guidance recommends renter's or applicable homeowner's coverage for student belongings. Families should confirm whether existing family coverage extends to campus and whether limits/deductibles are adequate.
