I have continued to fail to see the reason to link Wildcard with ATM. I know very few people that do it. You can just get a US Bank debit card anyways, which you ideally should have far more control with the ability to cancel it/etc in case you lose your wildcard/get it stolen. And if you are going to carry a wallet/purse, you will have enough room for both your wildcard and your debit card anyways.

Off the top of my head, the other Evanston banks with ATMs are BofA, Chase, and LaSalle–although none of these are on campus.

Since my family uses Wells Fargo and I have my work study direct deposit go there, it is sometimes tough to get cash without stomaching the $5 atm charge (2 for wells fargo and 2.50 for US bank). I usually try and get cash back from the whole foods or CVS, but if its late at night or you live up north, it would be harder to do that route.

For a family that uses one of the banks I listed above, definitely use them instead.
