What you'll need
Typically your passport, I-20 or DS-2019, proof of Rutgers enrollment, and a US address (your housing lease or a campus mailing address usually works).
Banks near campus
Several major banks have branches on or near College Ave and are used to helping new international students set up their first account — call ahead to confirm what documents they'll accept.
