You will need:

La Caixa (Caixabank), at the Rectorate Building of the University
Caixa Catalunya (Catalunya Caixa), at the Plaça Cívica.
Banco Santander (Central Hispano), at the Plaça Cívica.
It is better to open your account in one bank inside the Campus, so they know you are resident in Vila Universitaria and showing the accommodation contract (you will receive it by e-mail once you sign it) and your Id you will be able to open it with no extra costs.
It is compulsory to open this account, unless you pay the whole stay at your arrival.
Once you have your contract signed, you need to pick up your key and meet your block representative!
The firsts days of September you will find them outside the reception giving the keys and doing the apartment revisions. After that, you can contact them by Facebook group of your building or just knocking their apartment door.
