It may be different for your class but the best one for printing and developing is Kodak T-Max 400!!!

Use 35mm black and white film. When you are looking at the film, make sure it does not say that it require c-41 developing. This is the type of film that has to be developed in the store. You want the type that you can develop in school. Film that says c-41 usually has a black border around the box. AVOID THIS FILM!! Like someone else said, T-max is a great brand and so is ilford. There is another, but I can't remember what it is called.

35 mm film... in black and white of course. Check with Walmart. If not check with a camera specialty shop like Ritz camera.

To be sure, take your camera to a place that develops film and show it to them (even CVS or Walgreens should be able to tell you). It could be almost anything! The most common film size is probably 35mm, but there are many other sizes and they come in various cartridges. Tell the folks at the film store that you're taking black & white photos so you get the right film.

Different cameras take different film and it should say in the name of the camera - 35mm and 120 are probably the most likely for class work. Take it to a camera store and ask

it sounds like your still new at this so here's what i suggest. anything from ILFORD all there film is black and white. for starters i go whit the HP5 not to expansive and that's what i like to call standard film good for any range of light. you can try the T- max that might be Little expansive but not to bad but it does take alot more time to develop. another one is the Kodak tri-x 400 affordable not to much time in the developing room good under a large range of light. good luck and always remember to set the right ISO on your cam to mach the ISO on the film

It depends on the type of lighting you dealing with. I always had good luck with kodak panchromatic films. They have an ISO of 125. They have low grain good quality and can be developed with d76 developer in a 1:1 salution
