Hi! I’m a university student working part time, and I have about $5k I have access to. I consider these my emergency funds, but is it advisable to keep these in SSB rather than a regular bank account?

Do 50/50 SSB and a savings account somewhere. The started SSB will grow into something more which you can allocate to other investment pots in years to come, and the savings acc will be there for the really rainy days (and if really need to cash out the other SSB half, i'm sure the savings acc half can buy some time :)
