    Yep. Get a student account if you haven't got one with your existing bank and they're likely going to give you a credit card.

    Yes, but be careful, and ensure you pay it off within the 0% interest period, as if not you will be in even more problems this time next year when you need to renew again.

    You should aim to try to pay it off too to ensure you start getting a good credit record, and having and managing debt will give you this, and with the current "credit freeze" lurking it will help you in the future.
