It should be stereo, and it should not cost too much for a poor student.

How about those binaural mics? Anyone have any experience with these (quality, fidelity, noise etc.)?

I recall reading in last months (October) EQ about stereo recording mics that look just like sony walkman earbuds. You're basically using your head and ears to preform all of the complex filtering you'd need to use a dummy head for.

Their stereo imaging is reportedly rather startling in it's clarity, plus, you're not intimidating or disturbing your sample material by waving a big mic around.
