This is the wrong list to ask this kind of question. Try debian-user
instead.

Please search the web and read debian's home page [1]. The first
sentence of that page tells you: 'Debian is a free operating system (OS)
for your computer. '
Since you didn't tell what your needs are it is a bit difficult to tell,
if debian is the best software for you. It certainly is the best
software for me and many others out there.
Since you say you are from a university, probably the best way to obtain
debian is via the internet. You could either download a minimal cd image
from [2] or simply visit [3]. (Don't be scared by the name of the web
page, the installer will install debian alongside your other OS.
However, for any installation of a new OS it's always a good idea to
have good backups.)
On [2] you could also find a list of CD vendors.
Another approach would be to buy a book about debian. Most of those have
CDs/DVDs packaged with them.
HTH,
Johannes
