1. I think pretty much any bank has free checking accounts available, especially if you're a college student. Most credit cards don't have fees either unless you fail to pay off your balance at the end of the month. You should probably just go to a bank or two and sit down with an accounts manager and ask them about what kind of checking accounts they have for someone like you. You could probably even get a credit card through the bank as well.
2. Key Bank has some amazing student deals: try: https://www.key.com/html/free-camera-offer.html?sqkl=H_mc07014camerailt3_img
3. check the internet for no interest CC's and high interest saving/ checking accounts best deals i have found yet read small print
4. If your a college student you do not need a credit card. If you can't pay for it with cash than wait. As far as good deals on checking accounts, usually banks want you to keep a certain amount of money in your account and the interest is very low. Try a credit union. But think real hard about a credit card they will destroy your life. Use a debit card instead.
5. impossible to give specifics, but, i like a network of banks called Independent Bank...in the midwest...
6. citicards.com or chase.com has great cards for college students with no annual fees and zero percent introductory interest rates and even cash back. Do yourself a favor though and pay the card off at the end of each month or else you could get yourself into some major financial problems.
7. Most banks have student accounts where there are either no fees or very few fees. Check your local banks and credit unions and compare the products. Make sure you can also get a debit card with the account. With the debit card, you shouldn't have a need for the credit card. Be in the habit of paying cash for things, and not getting into the credit card hole that so many people have gotten into in this country.
8. I have found a button on the source. It leads to a site that does not turn anyone down for a credit card and no credit checks. The site is great for other resources.
9. No you don't.
