Uni Starts soon - What bank account should I have?

I start Uni next week, been keeping an eye on a few offers on student accounts and most recently tried to sign up to Lloyds TSB student account, however, I failed to complete the entire form because they asked for income/loan information and I had to pick one.
I have no loans nor do I have a job, so, no income. I have to select an option then give information about it or I cant move onto the next stage and complete my application.
I really liked their offer and there is both a branch near my house and Uni.
Advice? Should I go into their store? Same benifits as online?
Thanks,

Maybe they expect you to put your student loan in as income?
Income doesn't mean a job ... it means: incoming monies....
I hate forms that make me choose things that don't appear appropriate, or they give you new information on the next page that means you'd have chosen something different on the previous one.0 -
I havnt got any incoming monies. I thought it implied what I get from a job but thanks for clearing it up.
My Uni fees will be paid by me and expenditures during Uni, travel costs, books etc etc will be paid by parents.
I will be getting a job but dont have one, no benifits or anything coming in.
