yeh it is barclays, so choose one of hose preferably, otherwise you'll have to trudge on down to town to get stuff sorted out. In the barclays cash macine you can get out £5 notes every so often...

Is there a halifax in town?

Natwest has a very good student account, they have the second best overdraft policy (after halifax) but unlike halifax it also gives you a free 5 year young persons railcard which is definitely worth it (worth £20 a year). And having a branch on campus I am sure will also be a bonus!

Can anybody please confirm are all those facilities of student account also available to international students too?

As far as i know they are available to you yes...altho check just to make sure!

Juat a tip, open a student acccount at home with sum1 like HSBC and then find one of the natwest reps in the union during freshers week in the day and open a natwest one as well. This way u can get two gifts and/or two overdrafts should u need them in an emergency :rolleyes: e.g. u need to buy anuther rd of drinks in the union...hahaha

of course this is entirely upto yourselves...
:wink:
yes there's definatley a halifax in l'boro town.

Natwest is offering Rail card worth 100 GBP.

I would have gone for the mp3 player but i already have an ipod mini! But the railcard will be really useful over the next 5 years....
