<p>Cell phones are well worth the money and will make your life a heck of a lot easier. I didn’t have one in high school, and didn’t realize how much cell phones make scheduling communicating more convenient. With Verizon, good reception in Ithaca, you can easily pay off your monthly bills with about eight hours of work. </p>
<p>Depends on your college, but you generally determine your schedule during orientation, and it’s usually a good idea to have in mind beforehand what you want to take. </p>
<p>Having an M&T branch right in the middle of campus is great. I was easily able to talk to a person at the bank whenever I had questions, and I could make deposits quickly between classes. There are ATMs all over, too, so in my opinion M&T is the way to go. (Not that the other ones aren’t good choices either, but this is my experience.)</p>
