Before heading off to college, having health insurance is a big item to mark off your checklist. Most colleges in the United States require their students to have health insurance. If the plan you have does not meet your university’s eligibility requirements, you will have to pay for the plan that the school provides. 

For as low as $45 per month, you can receive low-cost urgent care visits (which is perfect for college students), up to 80 percent off on over 1,000 different prescriptions, and same-day lab testing with a Mira membership. Sign up today
