another suggestion is travellers checks. Old fashioned I know but guaranteed to be replaced if lost or stolen and just about everyone takes them. Another option is to get a pre loaded Visa check card.

When my parents dropped me off at college ohh those many years ago, they left me w/ out a dime…They never thought about it I guess. They knew I had financial aid coming and that my meals and housing were taken care of so I guess they thought I was OK. I had a few bucks of my own but those first days getting finances in order were no fun.
