About:Nanjing Travel
I will be studying for a year as an international student at Nanjing University. Should I open a bank account in Nanjing so I have cash readily available without having to pay ATM fees everytime I use my ATM card from a US bank? What is the best way to go about opening a bank account in China, can I do it before I leave the US or is there a better solution to avoid ATM fees while in China for the year? I will need cash for tuition, room and board. Thank you for any advice!
