Anyone have a film camera recommendation?

I need to fulfill some arts and humanities requirements for my degree and it's time to register for Fall. A friend wants to take a film photography course with me. I didn't really want to spend the money on a camera, but it's something I've always wanted to experience.

The budget is not wild, though I am going to sell my D60 as a starter kit (any interest? :D) and will have financial aid so it doesn't have to minimalist. Quality is highly valued. However, I'm not sure how much I would use a film camera beyond this class though - probably only sporadic projects.

I could maybe spend up to $700 for something super fantastic but ideally it would cost less since that would mean less money for living expenses. :-P
