Sketchup for beginners, blender if you're willing to dig deeper.

Blender. If you're doing 3D printing check out Autodesk's 123D.

I'm doing blender in college and it so cool. I'm not great at it only done low poly renders and animations so far.

Don't use just one, use several. And make sure that exporting and importing would not make problems if one of the programs don't support exporting one of the types that other can import. But usually all of them support obj and  fbx.

I like Blender and OpenSCAD, depending on what I'm trying to do.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Maya is by far my favourite. You can get it for free on the student Autodesk site. Like with any 3D software, you're gonna have to do some tutorials. Don't expect to just pick it up and run with it.

I would learn Blender if you are willing to watch a lot of videos and google things you don't know (I would recommend having a second monitor).
