Going back to school and having a darkroom/photo department available will open up all sorts of alternatives for you. B&W printing is fun, as we've covered in a couple threads. NY mailorder prices for something like 35mm 36 exposure Ilford FP4+ or HP5+ seem to run about $2.70US. [Has anyone had experience with mailorder film since post office security tightened up?] Since you have a nice film camera, what would be really great is if the school had a slide scanner that accepted unmounted strip negatives (I think most slide scanners do). You could develop the film easily and inexpensively yourself, (and get better results, BTW). I've loaded the reel in a closet at night. Really then just need running water to wash. Then you could scan them, and photoshop as you are already used to.
