A homeowners policy takes effect as soon as you have the agent's signed receipt in your hand unless the agent hands you a piece of paper that says otherwise, at least in this state. (It can still be rejected at the office and you get your money back.)
There may be other considerations. It could go into effect when a certificate of Occupancy is issued, or something else is done.

The basic structure of a homeowners policy looks like this:
If you don't carry homeowners insurance and you have your home financed, you are breaking the contract and your bank will take out a forced place policy to cover their interest in the home and you will have to pay the premium which is far more than a homeowners policy. If it's not financed, you take the entire risk of loss upon yourself.
The answer depends on the policy.
A homeowners insurance policy will cover the interests of the named insured on the policy. It does not matter if the insured is a student or not.
Homeowners insurance does not generally cover the murder of a person listed on the policy. For that, you need life insurance.
No. Damage from insects would not be covered on a homeowners policy.
