<p>are there any banks on or near campus?</p>
<p>i am trying to decide where to keep my money for easy access while at school</p>
<p>what bank to most students use at tufts?</p>
<p>Bank of America has an ATM in the Campus Center, and they're all over Boston and Davis.</p>
<p>Citizen's Bank has an ATM in Dowling Hall, and Davis.</p>
<p>Sovereign Bank is nearby, and I think also TD Banknorth (which recently merged with Commerce Bank).</p>
<p>Bank of America is definitely the most convenient bank to use at Tufts, but Citizen's Bank is accessible, too.</p>
<p>I agree with Sam, but I figured I'd throw in some of the local banks, in case that's the one they use at home and don't feel like switching.</p>
<p>anything wachovia?</p>
<p>do bank of america representatives have special promotions during orientation? I want to open an account now but my parents say to wait until then...</p>
<p>Yes Milkmagn, there will definitely be representatives from Bank Of America present during Orientation... I would wait till then because there is no real advantage of opening a new account prior (apart from wasting 20 minutes waiting in a line). Speaking with representatives who come to the school directly will probably give both you and your parents a better perspective than just any odd rep.</p>
<p>alyzb1, do not bother with Wachovia, the closest ATM is probably in downtown Boston... Definitely go with BofA as ATM's are abundantly located around campus locations and all across the Boston area.</p>
<p>Bank of America offers a student account that gives you something like 5 years of no fees on your account. That's a pretty good deal, considering that otherwise you'd have to keep a certain balance to avoid monthly fees. They also offer a credit card (about 600 dollar balance) for students.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Wachovia does not extend north of New York.</p>
<p>Is there a WaMu?</p>
<p>No WaMu, anywhere near.</p>
<p>That's not good :x</p>
