■■ Because Kean University does not provide personal
property insurance, it is recommended that students
determine if they are covered under their parent’s
renters/homeowner’s insurance policy or obtain a
separate personal property insurance policy to protect
their personal property such as stereos, cameras,
calculators, personal computers, books and furniture.
