Whay kind of fly tying equipment should I buy?

I am a long time fisherman, but I have recently gotten serious about fly fishing. I am going to start tying my own flies, and I need some info about what kind of equipment to buy.
I have looked at the starter kits, and generally read that the equipment included is of lower quality, and is not great if you want to be a serious fly tyer. What brand/type of equipment would you recommend to someone who wants it to last through years of use and increasing experience?

Price is important as I am a college student with limited resources. Thanks for the help.

Where do I begin with fly fishing?

I really want to get into fly fishing. I have spin fished since I came out of the womb and never really gotten into casting flies. I have zero knowledge on it. I have zero gear and no idea where to start. I am going to attend a beginner’s class at my local Orvis outfitter’s store and I expect them to tell me a ton. I just can’t wait for the class in a week. Anyway, any and all info welcome! I need some lists of rods and reels, line, and any other gear I should know about! Thanks!

What is it?

What is it that’s got meat in it,also bread and tomato,an orange,is tied up in plastic,and flies through belfries?
