It also depends on what you are doing I'd say, I know from our project to renovate our civil eng building for that class we're using Revit to model the exterior, SketchUp to have a pre-model since its easier to use and AutoCad to take care of the room splits and whatnot PLUS something else the structural engineer is using to make sure the building can stand  |
Draftsight is a free offering (you can pay for it for commercial use, but certainly free for students) that's made by the guys that make Solidworks. I personally think it's a big middle finger to AutoDesk. A lot of the short commands are the same as AutoCAD even.
Just Google and download.
