There are actually two ATMs on campus that I know of. There’s one by the main dining hall, D-hall, and one down by the central on campus bus stop outside the bookstore. I’m not positive about this, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was another one up on the east side of campus too. The bank is Commonwealth Federal Credit Union, so if you already have a bank account with another FCU then there are no ATM charges. Freshman and sophomore year I used it many times with my Navy FCU bank card, never had any problems or charges. As for the bank itself, they don’t exactly have the best rates, so if you’re looking into it just for ATM use, it’s great, but I wouldn’t recommend setting up an account with them for general banking purposes. Also, make sure that whatever bank you’re going with you have easy access to it while back home, otherwise when you’re on break it can be a little frustrating when trying to deposit checks and the like.
