He's not going to go near 35mm film any time soon. A 400' roll of Kodak stock 35mm film is a few hundred dollars. 1000' rolls are $400-500, I believe. A roll of 16mm film is ~$150, and ~110 with a student discount. 400' of film is about 11 minutes and 30 seconds. 100 feet is just under 3 minutes, and that's ~$50.
Also, it depends on what type of film equipment his school has. Most schools teach their students on Bolex, like a previous Anon mentioned. My school has four 16mm Arri S cameras, all modified for Super-16. We also have two modified Arri SR2s and an Arri SR3.
Anyway; suggestion for OP; if you're seriously thinking of becoming a film student; do not, do not, DO NOT waste your money on a shitty handicam or any other type of bullshit. You can get a HVX200 relatively cheap nowadays; it is a good HD camera that is widely popular on low-budget productions of the student/indie/independent level as you can get 35mm adapters to put cine lenses onto them, and their quality is pretty good.
Personally, I prefer film over digital (even in still photography, but I just recently got my first DSLR since it's much more cost effective in the long-run than buying film, even though I plan to get a cheap 35mm SLR off of Amazon someday for the hell of it). The look and feel it gives, and the amount of work it involves in getting it right is so much more rewarding.
Enough of my ranting; OP, get a decent HD camera like the HVX, don't waste your money on bullshit if you plan to become a serious film student. Also, if your school is light on equipment, people will also be willing to pay you to rent your camera from you. Someone at my school was charging people to use his Canon XL2 and it's a shitty camera, until the school got more of their own XL2s and allowed classes other than just the Seniors and Juniors to use them.
