Our S’s only 17, so his checking account is really a subset of our family account that, after several rounds of acquisitions, wound up with a West Coast chain that doesn’t any branches where he’ll be going. We’ll probably set up an account with one of the three banks the school lists as having branches on campus and work with his student ID.

In our case this will only be for pocket money. We’ll be paying for tuition and everything else through a credit card, paying the balance off immediately. Points, don’t you know. :D
