Find what software your college uses and see if they have an arrangement
allowing you to have your own copy of it. Failing that, free demo versions
of many packages are available allowing limited size designs which are often
adequate for student use. Or, you could buy a low-cost package like Easy-PC
for yourself (http://www.numberone.com).
