Our D, who was 16 when she started college this fall, has an account that we set up when she got to school. I did go with her and had to sign for the account with her since she was not 18, but we set it up at orientation where lots of the local banks had tables just for that purpose. She also has an account out here which we can transfer money into in an emergency.
You can often set up an account with a nation-wide bank, but for us it was easier to do it there. You just want to make sure that there are free atms that the student can use.
