Mevara, Schools First is the one I had decided on, but they apparently really do stick with their membership criteria, so we can't go there. The bank that was recommended to us was Union Bank, but I don't like that their parent company is Japanese. Then I came across One West Bank which sounded good, but they were part of the whole bank disaster and I don't know if they've just slapped lipstick on a pig. I won't bank of BofA because I used to do their travel and they're huge money wasters. I guess I'll see what other credit unions are in the area, unless anyone has any input on One West or Union. The gal who recommended Union is very nice, but she's a gazillionaire and I don't think her banking experience is exactly the same as mine - ie. she's probably never paid a bank fee in her life.
eta/oh and Anchor, we have been here 4 weeks today! We've been in our apartment for about 2 1/2 weeks, and our shipment should arrive in the next couple weeks.
