What is a 35 mm camera like?

I was told that it was recommended that I have an adjustable 35 mm camera for my Photography class that I'm taking next semester, but I don't know what that means or if the camera that I already have meets those requirements or not. I have a Nikon Coolpix L19 and I was wondering if that fit the description of what I should have.

Can a camera-savvy person help me out and/or point me in the right direction?
*I am a student so please keep in mind that I am not financially secure enough to go out and buy a fancy new camera.
