Health Insurance Advice

So, I just got the dreaded news that I will be off my parent’s health insurance when I turn 22 (even though I am still in college). My parents are willing to help me pay for the insurance for a while, and I hope to get a job that includes insurance, but that won’t happen at least until I graduate. My insurance will expire in early January, and I don’t know if I should shop around for an individual policy, take my school’s health insurance, or do something else. There’s no guarantee that I will get a job straight out of college, so I may need a few months of time after graduating in May continuing to be covered.

All of this stuff truthfully confuses me. My parents are helping me figure it out, but I also wanted to hear any advice that anyone has about this situation. Thanks!
