My friends told me that they all started building credit by opening a student credit card from Chase, the ones with a 200 dollar limit.
I tried to do that but actually got denied. They said that I have “too few accounts open to resolve credit.”
So how do you do it?
Okay, I will try citibank, thanks. 
Also, I already have a checking account open.
I do not have a cellphone or any other type of bill like that under my name, though. I mean, I don’t have a cellphone period, haha. I don’t want one.
Also, I would never use a credit card unless I could pay it off immediately, of course. That was my plan.
CitiBank has a great student credit card program. Go to

Try CapitalOne. Thay have a very good interest rate and they won’t turn your application down. They might start you at $300. Or you can get your parents to link you to one of their credit cards ( that’s if they trust you; and if they do make sure you don’t dissapoint them). Good Luck
