Interested in SolidWorks, Need help, Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone knew if you could get a 30 day trial, or a student version like you can with AutoDesk. If I do have to pay for the license how much would it be for a student and a full version of this software?

I do know how to use Inventor, Revit, and Sketch Up, and I have heard about this software being like the "Mercedes" compaired to Inventor. I would like to learn how to use this software.

Thank you all in advance for the help.

Inventor and SolidWorks are equivalent. I have not found any significant differences.
Check at your school - at our school students get SWx student license for free.
If you have any involvment with First Robotics you can get it for free.
