International students who choose to study in Louisiana have the chance to study in some of the country\u2019s top rated cities in some of its best colleges and universities. International students are drawn to Louisiana\u2019s warm climate, unique cultural influences, and famous festivities. Louisiana offers a number of great colleges and universities for international students, including Louisiana State University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with most colleges and universities in the United States, Louisiana State University requires that all international students on J and F visa status have acceptable international student health insurance coverage, and this coverage must meet LSU\u2019s specific policy requirements. LSU offers its students a school sponsored insurance plan through Gallagher, and the school\u2019s policy states that all international students (excluding ISEP students) will be charged for LSU health insurance coverage upon arrival, unless LSU receives proof of alternate insurance coverage that meets LSU\u2019s requirements.

Alternative Health Insurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

International students might find that it is advantageous for them to purchase an alternate, less expensive personal insurance policy. Our Student Health Insurance plan<\/strong><\/a> levels of the Budget, Select and Elite will meet Louisiana State University\u2019s health insurance requirements at a much lower cost than the school sponsored insurance plan. For example, for an international student ages 24 and younger studying in the United States:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
