I’m a Canadian currently at Princeton. I had an account with TDCT in Canada, and have kept it, while also opening a checking and savings acct with BoA (they have great deals for students and all that). My parents don’t give me money, but when I need to get money from my Canadian account to my American account I generally just bring a bank draft down with me or write a cheque to myself. Neither are particularly quick transfer methods, but I generally bring down enough at the beginning of the semester to last until the end.
