i dont like wells fargo. from what i hear they like to charge a fee for every little thing.

my personal suggestions (in order):
WaMu - free checking. free checks. no strings attached. open online together with a statement savings account and they give you a nice 5% APY interest rate on the savings. ATMs on campus.

BofA - Campus Edge checking is free for 5 years if you’re a student. they have an online only promo right now where MyAccess checking is free with NO direct deposit requirement, but you have to open it online. ATMs on campus.

Citi - they have a college checking account, but its not really well documented online at all. but if you apply for an e-Savings and EZ checking together online, monthly fees and per check charges are waived for EZ checking. plus e-Savings give you a nice 4.5% APY interest rate. no minimum balance. no on campus ATMs, but theres a branch in westwood.

Wells Fargo - College checking is free only if you select online statement delivery. $1 fee each month for debit card use on the college checking account. regular basic checking is free with direct deposit. ATMs on campus.

i personally have WaMu and Citi.
