In my experience, the local banks will be lined up with deals for the incoming students. You may want to see which has the best deals, which branches are the most convenient (ie have an atm in the student center) and all of that other business before committing. You can get all your ducks in a row before coming to the school so that the transfer is as easy as possible including maybe $500 in cash or travelers checks or bank check so that when you open the account there is some readily accessible money before transferring the whole chunk of change.
