Renters insurance recommended for students

When a student moves into an apartment, there are many decisions he or she must make, including where to live and how to budget. For many students, renters insurance is an important part of that budget.
"It's always important to have it, no matter what, in case something happens," Keron Sousaint, a senior from Lawrence, said.
Chris Munk, an agent with State Farm Insurance, said that people who buy renters insurance range across several groups, from students to working adults.
"Several complexes now require it around here now," Munk said. "It's not just to protect you, but also property owners."
Munk also said that roughly 70 percent of renters don't insure their possessions because they either believe it's too expensive or that the landlord's insurance will cover them. He said that a typical policy costs between $10 and $15 a month for $20,000 to $25,000 worth of protection.
"With students, it depends on how comfortable you are with your risk," Munk said. "Students don't usually think they have that much, but it can add up quickly."
for college students to have because if they're under 26, their parents' policy may not cover them.
Munk added that it's especially important
Hall Equities Group is a management company in Lawrence that requires tenants to acquire renters insurance as part of their lease agreements. The requirement has been a policy since Hall Equities Group opened in the early 2000s.
Some students who acquired renters insurance are pleased with their investment.
"I actually have a lot of electronics that I'd accidentally break myself," said Whitney Shoemaker, a sophomore from East Grand Forks, Minn. "I wanted to protect my stuff."
Park 25 Apartments and Townhomes is a complex that does not require its tenants to have renters insurance. However, its employees strongly encourage tenants to sign up for the coverage, and they explain the importance of having it. This policy has been in place since 1985.
"All owners and managers hold residents responsible for the full cost of any damage caused by the resident, family, invitates, or guests whether they have renters insurance or not," said Clark Lindstrom, the regional property manager for Park 25. "This turmoil can be avoided, or at least reduced, if the resident has a reasonable insurance policy covering both the
loss of their personal property and damages or losses caused by them to the building as well as any resulting losses incurred by neighbors."
Pinnacle Woods Apartments is another complex that does not require tenants to obtain renters insurance since management took over the property in 2010. However, the
management strongly recommends it.
"We recommend it because if something were to happen like a natural disaster, our building's insurance wouldn't cover personal possessions," said Serci Gonzalez, the property's manager. "It's never a bad idea."

After going scoreless in the first half, Michigan guard Trey Burke scored 23 points in the second half and overtime, including a deep 3-pointer in both the second half and overtime.
QUOTE OF THE GAME
"I could have taken the shot," Johnson admitted. "I passed up a shot to try and get a better one."

lane over Withey, who connected on a short jumper over McGary.
Later, Withey hit a turnaround fadeaway jumper over McGary to give Kansas a 10-point lead. Burke promptly paraded down the court, pulling Withey away from McGary. Burke sent the ball to McGary who slammed home two points before Withey could recover.
"We knew that Burke was going to drive in and pass the ball," Withey said. "Whenever Burke drove into the lane, I was there to usually contest his shot, so we wanted to take away the corner threes more than him driving to the basket."
The first half battle was nearly even. Both players had five rebounds. McGary had 11 points compared to Withey's eight, but the
explosion, Kansas slowly lost its momentum down low. Burke, who was scoreless in the first half, finally found his rhythm, and ended regulation with 18 points and 10 assists. He coupled with McGary to frequently execute the pick-and-roll, and Withey had trouble keeping McGary from getting open after rolling out of the screen.
"That's such a tough guard for jeff when you got a guy that screens and rolls the basket and you put four shooters around him," coach Bill Self said. "I thought we would do a better job screening the five-one ball screen, but we didn't."
On the offensive end, McGary forced Withey into awkward, out-of-position jumpers in the second half. Withey could only muster

Kansas was able to counter with freshman guard Ben McLemore for the only time this tournament, as he converted four 3-pointers, shot 8-15 from the field and scored 20 points. His first 3-pointer of the tournament came midway through the first half and ended Kansas' string of 22 consecutive points in the paint to begin the game.

McLemore said he hasn't made a decision about whether he will enter the NBA Draft or stay in school. If he does leave, Kansas will lose all five of its starters for the first time since winning the 2008 NCAA title.
"I hate to have it go down like this." freshman forward Perry Ellis said. "It's just sad. I really wanted to help them just push farther, but we just fell short."
