I wasn’t sure about purchasing it last year (freshman) because paying yet another $500 on top of $60k didn’t seem terribly appealing, but of my son’s twelve or so close high school friends, two had to withdraw for medical reasons. My son had walking pneumonia that was totally misdiagnosed by the health services and came home looking like a walking skeleton. Fortunately it was right before vacation, and he pushed through.

Based on these admittedly anecdotal experiences, I am purchasing the insurance again. If.my son was struggling with some mental health concerns, I would be even more inclined to do so. But we are full pay at an expensive institution. Maybe I would feel differently if he was at a state school.
