I don't know if you knew or not, but they now have AutoCAD for Mac, which you can get for free as a student just like all of the other Autodesk programs. While personally, I don't like Mac's, being an architecture student, I have plenty of friends who run AutoCAD for Mac, and from what I've heard is it works good, but is sometimes glitchy and is missing some of the basic text commands, and some of those famous "mac features" make things difficult to navigate. Then again, it is still the first release, so I'm sure things will improve over the next few releases. AutoCAD for PC has had almost 30 years of development, Mac will get there, just needs some time.

Also, I'm pretty sure SolidWorks runs on Mac, but don't quote me on that as I'm not familiar with SolidWorks products.
