So even if you don’t necessarily need a students account I am guessing you need an account in general, for rent etc, so why not take advantage of the goodies?
Also very interesting: In need of advice re: paying back student loan How to check my student hmrc loan balance? Should I opt for student loan debt consolidation? How to get a NatWest student loan? Are student current accounts worth opening even if I don’t need an overdraft? Where to search for student bank account offers? What are the best student accounts? What's the student finance (PN1) form? When to open a student account? How can I clear my student account overdraft?
