Best student bank account?

Does anyone have any recs for the best student bank account? I want one that would have an interest-free overdraft, and also overdrafts are guaranteed rather than being based on credit score/academic record etc, and one that you don't have to pay an x amount into your bank every once in a while (like santander)? so far im thinking co-op bank, hsbc

Some good advice on the above website. 0% student overdrafts are very easy to come by without a credit history - don't worry!

It's usually part of the T&Cs of a student account that you have to pay in a minimum amount several times a year. Usually this corresponds with your three maintenance loan instalments. Also note, that you can't apply for an account until you have a confirmed place at uni.
