Insurance and health in the USA:
Political changes in the USA have stated that American universities now (2017/2018) set strict requirements for international students’ health insurance. All students that are on exchange at an American university have to therefore purchase an American health insurance, that is recommended by the respective university. This comes in addition with other insurances students may have from their home countries. The insurances tend to cost around 500-600 USD, but can also be more expensive. Some universities also require that international exchange students document proof regarding certain vaccinations.
