What are banks (besides the one off campus) that are close to campus and are relatively well-known banks? I'm trying to find one that is in the area that I live and is also right by NU.
usbank is the bank of choice for most students. I personally hold a usbank account and a citibank account and transfer funds over whenever i need to withdraw cash from usbank (yay for skipping some fees)
I have no problem with Bank of America.
It is more national for when I'm not at school. There are very few times I actually need money, and there is a BOA ATM right down the streets, and a nice BOA branch down in Evanston right off campus.
i really thing that generally, you dont need to worry so much. just open a usbank account, it'll make life on campus easier. with all the internet stuff, you can transfer money and check balance pretty easily.
