ISA - Is it worth it??

Hi, I am a student currently doing a summer job which ends in the start of october this year. I will be earning just over 3k in this time. Is it worth me putting this money into a cash ISA to earn a bit of interest over the time im at universtity next year???

I would like to be able to withdraw 1k in november, 1k in january and another 1k in april/may to coincide with the starts of my terms as this money is the money i need to live on. Is this worth my while of should i just leave the cash in a normal account??

If it is worth it, can anybody suggest the best account to open????

Any help is appreciated!!

    Probably not worthwhile unless you earn over £5kish in the year.

    Definitely put it in a high savings account though.
