Why do college photography courses still make you use a film camera?

I can’t believe the number of photography courses which still want you to shoot black and white film and develop it yourself.

I have no objection to b&w and all it entails but time should be spent on composition and exposure, not mixing chemicals.

Digital, with its instant feedback and dirt cheap cost-per-shot, is the all-time killer photography teaching tool.

Why would educators not see this?

Vintage film cameras have recently peaked my interest. I bought a Polaroid OneStep Land Camera, but have come to find that one cannot buy film for such a camera. What other vintage film cameras should I look for that are fairly old, but still “alive” in the photography industry. In other words, I’d like an old camera for which I can buy film.

I would like to take up photography, lately I have taken an interest in it. I was wondering what camera I should I buy. I found cameras but they are all expensive and I don’t have the most money. And I want my first camera to be a stepping stone where i will later replace with a better one.

So I was wondering what a good beginning (and cheaper) camera for photography is?
So you are saying I should just buy any digital camera as a beginner.
I’m not looking for film camera plus I have one of those.
