My daughter set up her account at home before leaving for Lehigh. This way she had her ATM card before school started. We bank with Wachovia, so it was very easy to set up her student checking.

One less thing to worry about as a freshman.

Wachovia used to advertise account set ups where the parents could be notified if accounts were getting close to being overdrawn. Haven’t seen that ad recently. We didn’t do that because my daughter was very responsible and she wanted to feel more in charge of her money. It’s her checking account to manage.
