As the title says, I'm a college sophomore in Chicago and need some help building my credit. I currently have none that I know of, and need to at least start building it now, as I'm going to be moving out of University housing this summer. 

Both of my parents have amazing credit scores (I forget their numbers, but the last time I went in with my Dad to buy a car with him, the salesman was shocked at the score he saw.) Anyway I'd rather like to be like them, and not screw myself over now and be paying for it forever. 

I was thinking that the best thing I could do would be to get a credit card and pay off the balance each month, no if, ands, or buts, to start building my score up. My parents cover food, "normal expenses" (staples, dishes, textbooks, sheets. not "fun" stuff,) and my college costs (housing included.) I have one job that I pull in around $200 a month from working with an old roommate I had (ebay listing) and am working as a STA for 9.50 an hour at Smest Buy as well. 

What cards would ya'll recommend (I have my Checking and Savings with Chase, but I figured there would be better options out there for people in my situation?) Also, if there were other things I could to do start building a solid history now, what would those be?
