"Due to the high cost of medical services in the United States, it is mandatory that you have medical insurance coverage while attending Peninsula College. If you do not have medical insurance from your own country, it will be available for you to purchase upon your arrival at the college."

This is on our local community college website. I love the wording and hate that this is how things are. Edited to add that I know colleges want you to have insurance and offer it to you at a decent cost which is great. The wording struck me though, very straightforward.

Gee , that's very un-statesman like!

How do they ever expect to be able to sneak stuff in if people aren't confused by mind numbing legalese prattle.
