You don't have to start big either Shawnee. If it's film you're interested in, there are plenty of low cost options out there. In high school, I used my mom's old Canon slr from her days in college back in the 70's with a prime (non zoom) lens and it taught me a ton about learning the fundamentals of photography. Composure, etc.

Most college photo classes I am aware of require a film slr. If you just want to experiment shooting around, there are many cheap but quality Canon digital point and shoots available. Canon is pretty good at giving you great images in Auto Mode, but also allowing you a good deal of exposure control when you want it. Sometimes the little cameras are somewhat limited in their abilities however, your mileage will vary.
