Sorry, I meant, a major bank in your college town. But be aware of how much you need to keep in the bank and all your spending on the credit card when it's time. Like I said above, I think the SW credit card would be a good one for your location (you said MCI). Also, I think someone mentioned above, Southwest is cheaper fly out of and get to a destination and to fly to Europe or South America like you said.
