Go with Ally. Great interest rates, easy to setup online, 24 / 7 customer service via online and phone (no outsourcing), no minimums and practically no fees compared to traditional banks.

You want high interest rates for your savings. You'd have to look up their rates on the website. Be aware of minimum balances and account fees(like maintenance or not keeping the minimum).

Saving is always good. Start early and learn to live below your means. Have a routine to put money away.
I would wait for a "open a chase account and get 250$" promo or something like that. ...

I can't stand BofA, and everyone I know that has accounts with them can't stand them either. They all thought paying account fees was a norm. I've never paid any kind of account fee with any bank.

A savings account for emergencies isn't a bad thing. I wouldn't put all your money here but enough to cover some basic costs if disaster strikes. Perhaps $500 or $1000 to start and then leave it...

A straight savings account isn't very good. The money market certificates are better. .75% for 6 months and 1% for a year. ING might be the better option for straight savings.
Penfed is open...
