We also recommend that you make arrangements to have dental and vision check-ups before you leave home. Golden Gate University requires students to purchase an insurance policy that covers most medical problems that may arise. This policy is reasonably priced. It does not, however, include dental or vision coverage. The U.S. does not have a national health insurance program.
Individuals are responsible for paying for their own medical bills, which can be very expensive.
Because medical expenses in the U.S. are very high, failure to have medical insurance may result in a financial burden on you, your parents or sponsors. University Library Golden Gate's University Library has thousands of books, magazines, and newspapers for students to borrow. In addition, the new computerized catalog enables students to find research materials at several other libraries in the Bay Area, receive the materials on-line, and print them out immediately.
