Where Do You Bank While In College

In addition to the classes you decide to take, the clubs and activities that you decide to join, and even the sports that you play, the decision of where to bank can eliminate quite a few headaches in a college career. Such a choice holds especially true if the institution is a far distance from home. For instance, and I speak from experience, what happens when you need money in Pennsylvania, but mom and dad live in Nebraska?

• Can they wire the money? They could, but there is a stiff fee for doing so, plus you have to travel to a designated spot to get the cash.
• How about sending it through the mail? That may work also, but what if you need the money quickly?

These are things to consider when you are looking to set up a bank account for college. Collegeview.com provides some insight to this dilemma along with other aspects of student life that you may not be thinking about. Check it out and tell me what you think!
