Like the Unforgivable Curses in the Wizarding World, Meili’s Unbreakable Rules come with dire consequences. A student in violation of any of these rules must place a call to his/her parent in front of Meili. These rules are designed to keep everyone safe. Thanks for following the rules!
Wells Fargo near the University of Utah (235 S 1300 E, SLC, UT, 84102) does currency exchange, as do some other banks. You are encouraged to exchange money before we leave for Germany. DO NOT DO THIS LAST MINUTE. They have regular business hours (9 AM – 5 PM). If you have an account with them, they will not charge a service fee. If you do not, they will charge a $5-7 fee. We recommend you exchange around $200 - $300 into Euros. Cash will be easiest to use for dinners, activities, etc. Bring a credit card as well. Most places will be able to take a credit card for payment. Call your bank the last week of February to inform them you will be in Germany for 10 days.
