BANK ACCOUNT

If you are a student opening a bank account is completely out of charge for you! Don't waste time with international transactions and open your bank account in the US!

JOINT BANK ACCOUNT

If you share your apartment with your friends and you share grocery or bills, opening a joint bank account can make your lives easier and solve many of your problems. It will take you less than half an hour and it’s free for students!

NO CASH

In the US you can pay everything with your credit car, even a bottle of water! Moving around the city with a lot of cash can be dangerous, and you might be charged by your bank when you withdraw money. Avoid all these problems and always bring your American credit card with you!

DOS & DONTS

ENJOY THE ROOFTOPS' VIEW

Instead of spending a lot of money to admire NYC skyline from Top of the Rock or the Empire State building, you can just visit one of the hundreds hotel rooftops in the city and enjoy the sunset drinking a nice drink. It will save you a lot of money and will give you the chance to meet new people.

BUS TOURS

Don't waste money and time on city bus tours. New York is very busy and it takes forever to move in the city center by bus. Save money, take a walk and get lost in the city! You never know who you could meet in NYC...

FERRY TOUR

Watch out for tour companies if you want to get a ferry and go to Staten Island. They will try to convince you they have the best price, but going to Staten ISland is actually free! Many people live there and the ferry is a public transportation provided by the state of New York.
