Nice to hear another voice from a young person just starting out. Are you building a group with some other musicians in school??
Check the Musicians Friend and Music 123 and other sites on the web for inexpensive equipment. Please, when you find one, check in with all of these guys for an opinion. (If you're lucky, they won't bury you with 3000 different opinions)
The good news is,--these fellow drummers will do anything they can to help you. That's a great part of what we're all doing here. Glad to have you with us.
