One of the key things that you have to make sure while going abroad for studying is your student insurance policy. Keep in mind what your college requirements are and then look at the best student insurance that you can get to keep you secure during your college years.

It is your student insurance policy that safeguards your interests and saves you from unnecessary financial worries when you are abroad. Considering that expenses are far higher abroad than in India because of the disparity in the conversion rates; a medical treatment which was not an expensive proposition in India becomes almost three times its cost abroad. But with the right student insurance you can make it through these problems easily.

Here are some benefits which can make your stay abroad a happier experience.

• Affordable Pricing: 1/3rd the cost of similar insurance policies bought abroad.
• Overseas Student Travel Insurance plans generally cover medical as well as non-medical expenses during your study abroad.
• Non-medical benefits: Covers Study Interruption and provision for a Two-way Compassionate Visit cover for parents.

While above are the benefits that your policy would have, there are certain key points that can make a big difference. Some of these are

• Accessibility: Is your university considered by the policy?
• Global Tie-ups: Does your insurance company have tie-ups with health care companies?
• Policy Issuance: The policy should be available to purchase instantly online
