"Best Student Bank Account (help please)"

I've got to set up a new bank account for my student loan to be paid into and stuff, however I'm unsure as to which bank is the best to go with.

I know there was the bank that gave away a free rail pass when you set up an account with them, anyone know which bank that was?

Also what will I need to set up a student bank account? I'm guessing the usual stuff like passport/drivers license, household bill and a bit of money - but do I need anything to prove I'm a student or that I'll be starting uni in september?

Thanks in advance.

I think Halifax give the best overdraft rates.

But Barclays seem to give the most freebies away.


I have to make a decsion, to give in to the delight of free stuff, or to decide based on interest free overdraft facilities.

What 'horror stories' you heard Mr. Light?

I think that's Lloyds. I used 'em for my student account and found them really good. Mind, I've heard some horror stories too...
