Jamimom,
It would certainly be a kick to meet CC parents in person some day. Orientation would be the perfect time!

I also vote for an on-campus banking option. And since my D will hopefully be mostly funded, much of the account situation is handled internally via the college accounting office, so that mostly her banking needs would be instant cash and an occasional deposit of a gift check, for example. Because the winter weather will be something of a preparation adjustment (with respect to off-campus transportation, for example), I’d just as soon that her first year there be as uncomplicated as possible. (I do not see us having a lot of disposable income + time to visit Conn. prior to next summer.)

Thanks again,
e.
