Ah the infernal CAD software debate...
I've really found that the software someone "learned to CAD" on, tends to be their favorite (I wonder why??). It really comes down to personal preference.
My only recommendation to students is to stay flexible with what software you use. This isn't an Apple vs. Microsoft debate. Ive had jobs where I've had to work within Pro/E, SolidWorks and Inventor in one day, often using 2 packages at a time. I know many of my classmates from Northeastern went out and learned all kinds of software packages on their various co-ops, and now full-time jobs.
Don't limit yourself to one software package. As students, you have access to all kinds of free software, try them out, even just for kicks!

A good thing to do when thinking about designs like this, ask yourself "what do I gain?" - lemiant [more]
