a student should carry health insurance with him. We provide health insurance through ICICI Lombard whose premium is less with same benefits, than charged by US university with same features.
Medical Insurance for international students is a must (mandatory) in most of the universities in US. Atleast in my school (Temple University) I know it for sure. It's included in your tuition bill. The cost varies depending upon your location in the US.

You are right in saying that health insurance is must in US. We provide health insurance through ICICI Lombard, which is cheaper & features all covers that are mandatry in US university's.
Insurance is one thing which is mandatory in most of the Universities in US, mine had(NYIT,ny). I was charged an amount of $345/- per semester. But the plan we had was not at all good as I was new and could not find out all the details. It did not cover most of the things and we were just given an accidental compensation of a meagre amount of $18,750/- on our insurance. So my point is even it is mandatory from universities to get insurance but you guys make sure what all it covers. If you feel its not serving your purpose then I guess you have to have a backup plan of getting an international travel insurance from India itself. It does not cost much as compared. I had it for six months simultaneously for Rs 18,000/- only and it gave me an insurance of 200,000/- US Dollars.
