She says I need "a manual 35mm camera, (not digital, not point and shoot), needs to have shutter speeds and apeture you can set with a light meter" but I have no idea what this means. I have been looking on ebay for one but I'm really confused...can someone give me suggestions of good cameras that meet this criteria?

Minolta's are good!
I used them in my class.
Weird how your teacher makes you buy them though...

Basically, he wants you to get a 35mm film camera with no auto features. Any used camera shop will have what you are looking for and will be glad to help you find it.
Find a Pentax K-1000 with the 28-80 zoom lens. It is a rugged and inexpensive "stick shift" 35mm camera with all the lenses you'll need for 99.999% of all photogaphy. I used mine for years as my primary camera for weddings, portraits, and anything else I was getting paid to shoot. I still have it, and it still works just fine. Try eBay.

Sounds like the instructor is suggesting that you use a basic 35mm SLR camera that uses film. They are as common as flies.
