Change of topic: Registering a car for student in Hanover. Just found out that for out of state student they must obtain a NH drivers license if they want to take car out of state for more than 24 hours. What happened to Live Free or die?

Apparently so! So I guess no students ever take weekend ski trips across the river in Vermont! or drive home to Boston, Conn, NY or NJ for weekends....I can't imagine this. Maybe this is to discourange students from registering their out of state cars in NH.
Another change of topic:
What do you think about student insurance, similar to renter's insurance? I'm pretty sure my daughter's stuff is covered on our homeowners policy, but we have a high deductible. I just looked at the College Student Insurance website and got a quick quote and it's very inexpensive, if it really works! Does anyone else have this? My daughter is going abroad next quarter which is what got me thinking more about it.
Magnum, I used to know someone who lived in Brooklyn and had a car registered in NH somehow. Obviously, this was to obtain lower insurance rates. So most likely that is why they want more evidence that the person is actually a NH resident.

1stOTG, yes we have the student insurance,and it is very inexpensive and gives us piece of mind, especially for the laptop and bike. I think there is a $50 deductible. Fortunately we haven't used it yet. Although we came pretty close when his bike was "borrowed" when he was a first year and later found by a friend at another dorm.
Consolation, on the car registration issue, that must be it because I heard insurance rates for the Hanover area is pretty inexpensive as opposed to an urban area. We will see. Stay tuned as I go through this process next month.
Hey all 14 parents, Magnum, Dumbo, Firstonetogo, we are looking forward to seeing everyone at family weekend. We are meeting Friday evening at Collis? We will have three younger sons in tow.
Our '14 son was eager to return to campus after a 10 day break back home. He cabin-camped with some friends for a few days and has moved into his fraternity house. He sounded very happy when I spoke with on Sunday. We are looking forward to seeing Hanover in the summer, seeing all of you and meeting his new friends.
Congrats to all of the '12 parents! Time is flying and the Spring of '14 will be here before we know it.

Hey LHM4! OK '14 parents, hope to see you there at Collis Friday July 27, maybe after you have dinner with your '14, maybe 8:30 ish? I think there is usually some music event at Collis at 9. PM me for contact info!
LHM4, looking forward to seeing you again also. Magnum, that sounds great for a meeting time. I love that sophomore family weekend is during the summer. I was up there a couple of weeks ago helping my D move into her house, and the weather was beautiful. One of these times I really hope to add a few days and explore Maine and Vermont. I think the kids are all sure that 12X will be their best term yet. It seems each term gets better and better, which is hard to believe as freshman fall was incredible. I just wish that time would slow down a bit. LHM, you are very fortunate to have 3 younger kids. See you all soon!
