<p>is there a certain bank in charlottesville that uva students set up checking accounts or is it pretty much watever? i think someone once told me bank of america...but im really not sure...and also can i set it up when i go in the fall or should i do it ahead of time?</p>
<p>you can go wherever, BOA is the only one with a branch on grounds.</p>
<p>wachovia has an ATM in Newcomb (I think it's Newcomb)</p>
<p>mm, bank of america is the schools bank, but i have wachovia, and its only really a pain if i actually have to go to the bank...which is like a 3 minute drive. i have wachovia because there isn't a boa near my house in jersey.</p>
<p>i recommend you have a bank that is at home, and reasonably close to UVa. It makes it easier for your parents to deposit money, and parents who don't have to go to trouble to give you money are more likely to give it to you on a timely fashion.</p>

It's a Bank of America...or as someone told me "The Walmart of Banks". I think student accounts are free of monthly fees, which is nice.</p>
<p>By the way, the ATM in Newcomb does not take deposits, but the one outside the bookstore does.</p>
<p>Yeah I knew about the Bank of America one, but I also heard there was a Wachovia one. Maybe thats in another building? I don't know.</p>
<p>there is a wachovia atm in newcomb, unless its been removed over the summer.</p>
<p>its on the same level as the dining hall, in that little nook where there are a few vending machines by the door.</p>
<p>the bank of america atm is downstairs infront of the BOA and the hair salon</p>
