Tuition Insurance May Not Be What it Claims to be

Ever hear of "tuition Insurance"?


Its supposed to be insurace that helps college students get their tuition back if they have to leave school, but some are finding that its not what it claims. Students told the Burlington Free Press that they leave school for mental health reasons. Many students say they couldn't get their tuition back even if they had the insurance since the insurance requires that for a mental health issue a student must be in the hospital for two days in a row and those in the halth industry say that's not normal. But for a physical illness, students do not have to be hospitalized. In either case, the paper says, students would not necessarily get a full tuition refund for leaving school.
