<p>Are there any preferences of banks for students here? Or any recommended bank? Just wondering since I need to open up a new account. Not at bank of america preferably.</p>
<p>Preference is particular to each person. There is a Wells Fargo branch on campus so that makes things accessible for students. Chase is next to Albertsons on Campus Drive. There are sufficient ATMs on campus for the major banks.</p>
<p>Chase or Wells Fargo.</p>
<p>Preferable chase. Theres an ATM at the student center and a bank, which is a 10 minute walk away from campus and close to albertsons, if you live in ME that is. :)</p>
<p>When I visited UCI several times, EVERYONE was using Chase. Some were using Wells Fargo and no one was using Bank of America. I’m using Chase 
so yea</p>
<p>Why does no one use bank of america?</p>
<p>On the contrary, there are actually more students that use BofA from my 2 years experience here at UCI. There are always lines at the BofA ATM’s, even if there are 2 ATM’s while there are almost never any significant lines for the other ATM’s.</p>
<p>I use BofA, and I’ve no complaints whatsoever. I’ve had few issues where there were fraudulent purchases on my credit card, but the situations were handled well by BofA. </p>
<p>Nothing wrong with BofA… their customer service and fraud detection is awesome from my experience. I don’t have accounts with WF or Chase, so I can’t say for those.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. Think imma start looking more into Wells Fargo and Chase now.</p>
<p>Wells Fargo has been good about hiring UCI students and grads.</p>
