The student version is not free (it is quite inexpensive, though).

There are two options:

1. Obtain the freeware copy of PSPICE from SIMTEL20. The freeware copy is
   copyrighted, so do not mistake it for public domain software. It calls
   itself a "Demo" version -- it works the same as PSPICE except it lacks
   magnetics (tranformers) and cannot analyze circuits with more than about
   100 nodes. It is more than sufficient for filter analysis, student
   projects, and the casual user.

2. By the book "SPICE: A Guide to Circuit Simulation & Analysis Using PSPICE"
   by Paul W. Tuinenga, MicroSim Corporation, published by Prentice-Hall,
   ISBN  0-13-834607-0

   The last page inside the back cover has order forms (with the P-H item
   numbers) for the "Student Version". Disks for the PC, PS/2, and MAC II
   are available for $7.00, $6.00, $6.00, respectively. (The PC version is
   on two disks, while the other two are on one disk a piece)

   I'm not sure what (if any) node limit exists in the Student version, but
   it does include magnetics (probably a few other things are included that
   are missing from the now somewhat dated "Demo" version).
