Indeed, located as it is in the heart in the most densely populated region in the state, Broward County is also home to one of the state\u2019s most renowned centers of higher education: Broward College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>International Students at Broward<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Named by the Washington D.C.-based Aspen Institute as one of the top ten percent of colleges in the nation, Broward College has been attracting students interested in studying fields as diverse as education, business, and the humanities since it was founded in 1959. With campuses located around Broward County it is a rising star in education that is becoming increasingly popular among students from across the country. Not that its allure is limited solely to domestic students: Broward College&#8217;s international appeal is also strong. They are home to more than 63,000 students from one of more than 180 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Health Insurance Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the diversity of their backgrounds, each and every international student is required to maintain adequate Broward College International Student Insurance, which includes those on OPT. This year Broward College is also requiring that students have a year of coverage, even if they plan to return home over the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alert alert-primary\" role=\"alert\">\n<p>The minimum insurance requirements international students must have are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The policy provides coverage of major medical expenses including but not limited to hospital room and board, hospital miscellaneous, physician visits, surgery, anesthesia, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Medical Evacuation &amp; Medical Repatriation Coverage<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Because people without health insurance are solely responsible for paying all of the (often high) medical fees associated with their care,&nbsp; Broward College has mandated that all international students must demonstrate that they have \u201cadequate medical insurance coverage\u201d before allowing them to register or otherwise continue enrollment at Broward College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Meeting&nbsp;Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While this all might sound overwhelming, it does not have to be.
