Menlo College: Should my student have renter's or personal-property insurance?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

Yes—Menlo requires active renter's insurance for every student living on campus.

The 2026–27 handbook requires residential students to maintain active renter's insurance for the duration of the housing contract. It also notes that coverage may be through the student's own policy or a parent's homeowners policy if that coverage actually applies.
