Best local banks for Wes students?

<p>Does anyone have suggestions for convenient and easy-to-deal-with banks with ATMs on or near the Wes campus?</p>

<p>A ton of students have Bank of America accounts; it's the only one with an ATM on campus (in the campus center, currently)</p>

<p>Thanks, Madjoy!</p>

<p>I guess I will have to forgive Bank of America for "losing" data tapes with all my personal info on them, along with thousands of other people.</p>

<p>ACK, I don't know if I like the sound of that :-/</p>

<p>Yeah... Bank of America generally seems pretty evil and attempting-to-take-over-the-country-in-banking and all that... that said, they're pretty darn convenient :P</p>

<p>Hahahahahha!</p>

<p>ugh, please do NOT get bank of america. they're such a terrible life-sucking conglomerate. i have an account with them and i hate it so much. i've had so many problems and... ugh. yeah. avoid. also, the atm in the campus center doesn't take deposits, which makes it basically useless. </p>

<p>also, WAIT til you get here to open an account. it can be a huge problem if you do it in another state, as i found out this year. they also often have cool promos for wes students.</p>

<p>liberty bank is my recommendation. i think it's a pretty small, connecticut-based bank. there's a branch on main street, and they never charge any atm fees at all (and will refund you the other bank's fee if you use a different atm), so you could still get cash at the campus center without having to go down the hellish route that is bank of america.</p>

<p>Thanks, Jumble. Your advice seems sound and we will wait.</p>

<p>If you hate BoA there's a Wachovia right near Wesleyan.</p>

<p>is there a wachovia atm on campus?</p>

<p>no, currently the only one is bank of america. none of the other banks is very far away, but wachovia is probably the farthest (10-15 minute walk, maybe).</p>
