My daughter (18) has just started a 2 year course at a College (it is also a uni, but her 2 year course isn't a degree).  The Student bank accounts seem to want UCAS codes.  Does this mean she isn't eligible for a student account.  Seems a bit discriminatory that she lives away from home and has all the expenses and banking needs of a Uni student, but can't seem to get a student account.

    What level / qualification is the course ?  Santander student accounts for instance are not limited to degree courses and offer a list of different proofs to enable the student account.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Jean Cocteau 1889-1963
