<p>Which New Haven banks do Yalies prefer for checking accounts and why?</p>
<p>wachovia is in downtown new haven, but bank of america is nice too - near the admission office.</p>
<p>Do they have wells fargo up there? I know, maybe it’s a silly question, but that’s the only bank I’ve dealt with as an international student in Cali.</p>
<p>you could keep your money with the hobo down the street. They have lots of them in new haven!</p>
<p>that sounds dangerous…</p>
<p>Stop hating on the hobo’s. Learning to live in an urban environment with it’s pros and cons will be good for my suburban D, whose high school is located in a chic urban area. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY…Flatbush & Brownsville sections, learning to deal with all people is a great live skill. New Haven is really life and actually a very liveable city.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advise on banking options.</p>
