<prompt> Human: Im turning 18 very soon and Ive been meaning to open a bank account. I have been searching for a bank but I honestly dont know much about banks so Im a bit lost. If someone could recommend a bank and let me know why, that would really help.Also, if anyone cares, whats the best type of account for an 18 year old whos planning on attending community college and getting a job soon?  <response>: Go with a credit union. Here is why: they are member owned...which means they are not trying to squeeze every last dime out of your pocket and into their coffers. You should at the very least compare the fees a bank will charge vs what a CU will charge. And what they offer for interest rates for CDs and auto loans. This website will help you find one.
