    He’s going to Missouri, I’m just looking for an account with little charges for us sending money etc too 

    If he is happy with a UK bank account, have a look at Chase and Starling for use overseas.

    With Chase, he can also use Chase ATMs in the US for free.

    Revolut will also allow him to hold/spend money in both GBP and USD
    Neither Starling nor Chase give you a USD account. 
    Yes, but a USD account may not be necessary and all my suggestions will give near perfect exchange rates on transactions/free ATM withdrawals
    You might be right but I had assumed that the student will have to make payments by bank transfer / standing order, e.g. for accommodation and course fees
