HMO Recommendation for student?

Hello, I posted a message about this topic a month or so ago, and I got
some good suggestions. Basically, I'm a college student looking for an
affordable health care plan. I live a good deal of the year at school
in Syracuse, but I tend to get to get most of my medical treatments and
appointments done at home in Virginia, mainly because I have more time
and I'm more comfortable with the area.

I was going to go with the one that is offered by my university, but they
have recently switched over to a new plan that really doesn't look good to
me at all. I'm even more miffed that they waited until THIS week to notify
the students that there was going to be a chance.

So I was thinking that perhaps an HMO might suit my needs more than a 
school-run policy. My problem is well, for one, I don't know how much a 
HMO policy would cost for a one person, especially a college student. 
Another is, I don't know if an HMO policy would be worthwhile in time
and money for me. 

So what I'd like is to get some opinions on people who've had experienced
with HMOs, or know a little bit about this type of scenario. Should I 
invest in one? If so, which ones should I take a look at? I'd appreciate
any help or suggestions.
