Onto the autodesk website, download cad for free (legally) under a 3 year student licence. Literally just need to fill in a college you went to and thats it, they give you a product key. Easy!

If you want totally free and legal CAD software there is FreeCAD. I'm not sure how 'finished' it is though. I'm pretty sure 3D modelling is basically 100% functional but I'm not sure you can produce dimensioned drawings yet.
I use SolidWorks at work and used it all through uni but obviously that doesn't help as SolidWorks is many pounds.
