| Jul 5, 2015 at 20:27 | comment | added | Faheem Mitha | Yes, it is worth it. But it is sufficient to restrict yourself to emergency coverage. The most likely scenario in which you will need a large sum of money during that time span is an accident, but a sudden illness is also likely. And an initial entry to a foreign country you are unfamiliar with is a high risk period. Try to have some local (at least within the US) contacts in case of an emergency, in any case. | |

| Jul 5, 2015 at 11:25 | comment | added | singularity | I will get stipend in the PhD program so my financial situation is not that bad. I will get my first paycheck as well when the academic sessions starts. But the thing is that I want to take the least amount of money from my parents as I do not want to burden them. It is only a matter of first 20 days. I think if the insurance will cost me more than $100 then I do not think I will buy it. The whole admission process has been very costly anyway with all the exams, etc. | |

| Jul 5, 2015 at 11:07 | comment | added | DCTLib | Just checking back: you have an F1 visa and not a J1 visa, right? The answer to your question depends on this difference. | |
