Student looking to start a savings account, would a local credit union be helpful?

Basically the title, currently looking to start saving money and new to what to look for in finance. I’ve heard that credit unions are good for savings accounts, but I’m not sure if that’s true. I’ve done some research on local credit unions (considering ACUT), but most of the posts are for loans. Should I keep my checking account with my current bank, and have my savings in a credit union, or just open a savings in my current bank?

Any help is appreciated!
