    Student Bank Account
    Has anyone applied for one yet? I'v applied to Co-operative, I did it early cos i just wanted to get it all out the way. I received a confirmation email and then i later received a cheque book in the post but i'm yet to receive any physical letters regarding anything. Is it usual to take a while, i've waited about a month...

    Not yet. I was going to the other week but never got round to it. I'll do it soon though. I'm going to stick with RBS as I've always banked with them!

    I'm waiting until after results day when I've got my confirmed place. No idea who I'm going with yet, will look at what they are all offering nearer the time.
