<p>Responding to a query from Raluca</p>
<p>First congratulations on your being accepted to Lafayette College. I did not want to hijack the other thread, so I am starting a new one. I believe that a full scholarship covers health insurance, but this is something to check with Lafayette College. Offhand, I do not believe that there is a health insurance program for foreign students, even though many enjoy full coverage in their home country. Many colleges insist that you buy into their own health coverage. However, there may be different plans, some more expensive than others, offered by a single college. For international students who do not have the opportunity to go home regularly for check ups, follow-up care, chronic problems, etc..., colleges may insist on the most extensive and thus most expensive coverage. But again, check with Lafayette.</p>
