Credit unions usually have better interest rates than regular banks. Usually, Universities have their own credit union..

If you aren't going to touch the money for a while, you can go to Key Bank (www.key.com) and put it in a High Interest CD. You can put it in for as long as you want, and it gains some decent interest. The only downside is if you take ANY amount out of it before the specified date, you have to pay fees.

Bank of America has a thing right now they are doing w/ Savings accounts called Keep The Change. Every time you buy something w/ your bank card it will round up to the nearest dollar & put that change amount in your savings. I havent read the details yet so Im not sure if there is a catch or not...
