Banking
There are few areas of our course which are more misunderstood than banking. Most students believe that convenience is the only consideration, and choose to put their money in the closest bank, or perhaps they choose whatever bank their family uses. However, careful research reveals that the best bank or credit union for you may not be the nearest, nor is it necessarily the institution favored by your parent or guardian.
