Bank of america or Wells fargo??? which one is better?

Question

which one is better for opening a checking account (I'm soon to be a college student)

Answer 1

wells Fargo is a rip off!!! they have ripped more people off then any other bank! to tell you the truth I have never used either one of them but I have heard good about Bank of America.

Answer 2

BofA will think of you as just a big number.

Wells Fargo will think of you as another big number.

Try one of your local banks or credit union (If your parents are members, you can usually join too).  Banks will court student accounts at colleges, some may be a good deal.  

At least they will think of you as a smaller number.  

A few tips:

* If you are going away from home to college, get your checking account at home so you can use it easier there...College towns are used to cashing out of town checks.  

* When you choose your checks, have them start the check numbers at say, 1000 instead of 100.  Low check numbers indicate a new account to stores and is harder to cash.

* If you are going to use the ATM, make sure those transactions are free.
