It’s never fun to write on topics such as these, thankfully no one was hurt in the incident on the morning of October 29th. It started early in the morning at Alfred University, eight students rushed out of their apartment building as the building went up in flames. No one received any injuries but all the students lost all their possessions and clothing.
The University is taking a proactive stance on the situation, providing counseling and assistance with locating housing, clothing and other necessities in the Powell Campus Center on campus for the students who were displaced. It is always great to see Universities backing their students in their time of need but there is still a question for these students to answer. How are they going to pay for all there new possessions and clothing?
While the University is helping them locate the things they need, you can be sure that they will not be paying for these items. This is why renters insurance is so important! You always think that situations like these will never happen to you and I’m sure if we had the opportunity to talk to these students, they would say they thought the same thing. When it comes down to it, by the time something does happen, it’s already too late!
