Moving to College Station - A few Questions
1. What is the most famous international bank in College Station?
(in terms of availability and access)
2. How's the weather like in College Station? What kind of clothing do we need to bring with us?
3. Can you estimate how much pocket money we need monthly for us as a couple?
Thank you very much for your time.

I do not know much about international banks. Bank of America, Wells Fargo and others are there. That may be what you need.
Weather in B/CS is very warm (80-90 *F) most of the year and hot (90-100*F) during the summer. Winter is short and there will be the occasional freeze, but for the most part the weather is mild. Bring light colored clothes that breathe well.
How do you define "pocket money"? If you mean just for a burger and fries and a movie, then $100/month would do.
Best of luck to you.
Rick

Thanks Rick.
I always had in mind that the weather in Texas is warm. I was surprised to see all the ice in the pictures!!!
Anyway, I probably used the wrong term "pocket money"...
What I meant money to live buy - to rent a place, pay for the electricity, move around, eat, etc...

Yes, the ice and snow we had in early April was very, very unusual. I may not see such weather again in my life. Temperatures in the 30's are not uncommon in January and February, but most days the high in those two months will be closer to 60 than 30.
I would guess that you will need about $1200 to $1500/month for everything. That will depend on where you live and how well you want to live. I'm assuming that you will not have a car payment or any other debt besides day-to-day living costs.
I hope you enjoy A&M. My wife loved her time there.
