<p>Hi, i’m opening a bank account when I’m entering UCLA this Fall and I was wondering the advantages and disadvantages of the UniversityCredit Union at UCLA compared to another bank like Chase/BoA ?</p>

<p>Just go with the big name. You won’t be using the university union after graduating right? There’s really no difference</p>

<p>I heard that credit unions have better interest rates, less expensive fees, and checking accounts with interests? Anyone had experience with both/either as a college student?</p>

<p>A few years in college will earn you almost no interest.</p>
