<p>first, thanks to Pancaked and Enkidu9193 for answering all the questions for freshmen.</p>
<p>Do I need to have a bank account set up at a local bank at Vandy? I have a Debit card. Just wondering if sometime, I need to withdraw cash? The bank I use at home does not have a branch at Nashville.</p>
<p>Also does student need to bring over the counter medicine?</p>
<p>There are ATMs around campus where you can withdraw cash. Most of them are Suntrust. You should be able to use your debit card at pretty much any ATM (I think it depends on your bank’s policy but its true of most debit cards), but there will be some withdrawal fee. </p>
<p>There’s a CVS really close to campus for all your medicinal needs. Might be a good idea to bring some common ones but they are readily available. Some are even sold in the munchie marts on campus.</p>
