They do something similar here, then complain about dorm theft. How much of all that stuff do they really need for their education and reasonable comfort?

Numbers of this sort are published all the time by insurance companies, usually to persuade people of the need for insurance.

I reckon that I must have taken with me stuff worth less than £60, never mind more than £6,000, to uni when I first started 23 years ago!

The most expensive things that students seemed to own in those days were second-hand cars more than ten years old!
