Question

i am going to a uc in september. should i have a bank account?

Answer 1

Duh! I know some people who are your age and have credit cards, a checkbook, and all that other stuff.

Answer 2

You need a bank account regardless if you're going to school.  Learning to managing your money and the basics of finances are very important. Since you are a future student, many banks offer free student banking.
