Check CreditOne prequal site at creditonebank.com. On the right hand site Second link from the top says "Get Pre-Qualified"
This is a soft check on your credit report, and it is unsecure. Granted, the fees can be higher than normal, but it is a start.
Hope that helps
Well, step one before you go applying for more cards is to pull all 3 credit reports and make sure there is no derogatory stuff on it. You never know if your information was used by someone else; strangers, friends or family for credit without your consent or knowledge. You definitely should get your reports so you're 100% sure nothing is on them and you're not wasting inquiries without fixing prior problems beforehand.
This site is where you can get all 3 once a year for free: https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action
I am interested in knowing what you find because I too started college, at the age of 31 (late bloomer) and started out with no revolving credit, though I had some collections. I would love to hear you update your progress as I am already tracking other people in a similar position to see where I land when I can finally get a FICO score.
I know you said 'NO CREDIT HISTORY' but is that because you checked all 3 of your reports? Thanks and welcome to MyFICO! Everyone around here has been very good to me and I am sure they will be to you too; my (F)riends (I)n (C)redit (O)nline!

Well that is certainly good news. Do you have a Checking and Savings account? I know having one helped me get a Secured Card from Wells Fargo. Because prior to applying I had 4-5 collections on each report and 0 revolving credit history on my reports for the last 7.5 years. There are a couple of secured cards you can get without a hard inquiry. I believe State Department Federal Credit Union and Open Sky Secured Visa are two of them. There may be more that I am unaware of.
I am sorry Capital One turned you down because they really are one of the companies that help out individuals like yourself. What were the reasons for Capital One and Citi rejecting you? You know you could probably call them for a reconsideration as well. You have nothing to lose by doing this and then you could talk to an analyst directly and ask them how you can get their card in the future if the reconsideration does not work out. Don't give up hope yet 
It is highly possible Citi may just want to confirm personal information as well as have you fax an acceptance letter or your school schedule to them. If I have time later after work I'll try and drop by again and edit this post to add in the numbers for Capital One and Citi Recons.
