switching student account in anticipation?

hi,
i'm currently in my third year at uni. i have an hsbc student account, and its fine. however, i've been looking at the graduate account article and the lloyds tsb account would be great for me, as i'm going travelling after i finish uni, and i would be able to invest the HUGE overdraft and get some pretty good interest.
anyway, to get the lloyds account, (without having to pay in £500 a month) you need to have had the undergraduate account. so my question is: if i transferred now, during my final year, would i be able to take advantage of the overdraft on the graduate account, as if i'd been with lloyds for the full past three years.
thanks for any help anyone can offer!

Your best bet might be to pop into the branch or telephone them to ask. You can be fairly upfront with them - say you've had a bad experience with HSBC, want to switch but are concerned about being with them long enough to get the graduate package. Ask them if you switch now, will you still get it. I'd've thought so, since it's a full academic year.0
