Thank a lot…

You won’t be able to open a bank account without a SSN though. It was my understanding that students (on F1) can always apply for SSN.
Just go to a nearby SSN office](http://yp.yahoo.com/py/ypMap.py?Pyt=Typ&tuid=6679050&ck=2870270626&tab=B2C&tcat=8290751&city=Urbana&state=IL&uzip=61801&country=us&msa=1400&cs=4&ed=FvCsja1o2TyS710wp6wT7WGmHO.Z5e1gwxSaVUKNd9Va&stat=<img src=) and apply for it.
