    It depends on your income. Are you working part time at all? If it is your first credit card, I would apply to the bank which holds your student loan, bear in mind, maximum limit would be around £500. Once successful you can make a part payment up to the limit on your card and if you pay it all off on the next statement then you will incurr no charges.
