My first credit card was a secured one and it served me well for its purpose. After a year or so, they moved it to an unsecured one, so as long as you're being responsible with it, it's fine.
I think that several banks have credit cards for "new to credit" people and students, so I'd investigate those as well, as you won't have to front any money to open those.
