BofA is good because there’s atms everywhere in california. THe downside, they charge for everything. Savings account fee for BofA is like 3.00/month if balance is below $500 or something. So toss that idea out the window. Checks are kind of expensive, i’d buy it elsewhere, about $10 for like 2-3 books. But student checking is free for 5 years. Not to mention, there’s a $1.00 monthly statement charge, so just request online statements to get rid of that fee.

I would recommend just opening up a checking account to pull out money and write checks. Other than that, a reputable online savings account that is fdic insured will yield nice 5.00%apr or higher rates.
