<p>Is there any place on campus to cash checks and what kind of fee is charged? Or are there any Wachovia or Southtrust ATM's nearby?</p>
<p>From what I understand, Southtrust Bank is the only one with ATMs on campus and there are quite a few. (They must have some agreement that gives them a monopoly!) There is also a free-standing bank just off campus, and there is one other bank right off campus, but I can't recall the name. I don't recall seeing any Wachovia banks.</p>
<p>Wachovia bought out SouthTrust so unless Vanderbilt alters the agreement, Wachovia will have all the on-campus ATMs. There's a Bank of America branch on Wedgewood ave across from Blair, two AmSouth branches a bit of a walk away from campus (one at the corner of 21st and Wedgewood at the south end of Peabody and one on 31st and West End a bit of a walk from campus), a First Tennessee Bank branch next to Borders, and the bookstore cashes checks up to 100 dollars for free.</p>
<p>Are you sure the on capmus banks are SouthTrust and not Suntrust?</p>
<p>All of the ATMs on campus are SunTrust, not SouthTrust. It would probably be easiest to set up an account with SunTrust before you get on campus.</p>
<p>Whoops! Yes, you are correct--it is Suntrust that has all the ATM's on campus. I am always confusing SunTrust and Southtrust because they sound alike. Sorry for the mistake. By the way, I hear there will be Suntrust reps on campus during orientation week so you can probably set up an account then if you don't have a local branch and want to use them for banking.</p>
<p>I thought that I read (somewhere) that students could cash a check at the Vandy bookstore if they had their Vandy ID. Is this accurate? If so, is there a limit on the amount?</p>
