As your student finance is likely to be paid within the next few weeks (I presume?), I recommend that you wait until you've received your first payment before changing bank details. Check the Ts&Cs if you do open a student bank account - some require you to pay in a minimum amount per term so once your receive your maintenance loan payment you might need to transfer it to your new account.
