Daai survey reveals average student worth over £4,500
A survey of students' possessions by Daai has found that the average student's belongings total a cash value of £4,512 - yet worryingly, almost 1/3 of those questioned had no insurance cover. The survey, which was carried out in stages over May and June, questioned over 3,500 students in universities and colleges across the UK. The findings also showed that many students are complacent when it comes to their belongings - underestimating the value of their possessions by more than £1,100 on average, and either not taking out insurance or relying on parental cover, which may not be adequate.
