Which student bank account?

Options
Hello,

I am going to start a full time degree course in Sept and I am wondering which bank account to use. I am £500 in my overdraft with the Natwest which gets paid off monthly when I get paid (as i will continue to do so) so I ideally need one with a smallish overdraft but want to go for a decent one. Any opinions?

cheers

    wait til later in the summer, when they all put out the details of their special offers - there is also always an article by Martin summarising them all.

    Famous last words ;)

    Natwest are great - I got a £1200 overdraft in my first year. Also, in Exeter at least - they're incredibly helpful - eg. if you have rent coming out of your account which is going to result in a charge, the nice lady will phone you up and offer to rearrange your money between accounts so you don't go overdrawn!
