It is called unsurprisingly perhaps Student Possessions Insurance and whilst many don't know about it or get it, it really can be worth considering for peace of mind should anything happen to your possesssions.
Whilst most forms of insurance are very expensive, actually student possessions insurance can be very affordable indeed, for instance some providers charge in the region of £2.50 a month for this service.
Of course there will be a range of levels of cover and cost available, and often particularly targetted equipment like computers and laptops will require a separate fee to be covered to indicate the extra risk and cost of these apparatus being stolen and the respective replacement costs for them.
The type of property you are living in and the postcode might also have a bearing on what the cost will be so you will need to get tailored quotes from a few providers to work out which one will be the best for you.
You can often tailor these policies highly to also cover things like bikes, personal belongings and even legal expenses.
Most providers have a clear summary of what is and what isn't covered on their websites, so again it is worth checking these out to see just what will be covered if you take out student possessions insurance.
