Your school may be able to let you install it on your PC under licensing agreements with Microsoft. But if you cant do that you will have to find a VB6 learning edition which is the free hobbled version of VB6.
I don't really know of any reliable vb6 downloads web sites. I recommend that you try your local library. many VB6 instruction books came bundled with a VB6 learning edition CD.
The learning edition is hobbled in that you cannot make User Controls, You cannot deploy any programs, Your code can only run with in the IDE , a couple of controls are not included like the Masked Edit Control and finally there are not any help files included.

An academic version was given out with many books on VB 6. It is an ancient version though. The Microsoft Academic Alliance is available to all universities. Your school may already be signed up. Check with the department (computer science or whatever) about it. They can give you a copy that way and it would be legal.
You can download Visual Basic 2005 Express for free, but that is much different than VB6. Tell your professor to get out of the stone age. There have been 3 versions of VB since VB 6.

VB is NOT free. You can ask your computer science adviser or even your instructor for it, some Universities offer it to their students for free, maybe yours does...
Or you can go to isohunt.com, or mininova.org, search for the program and download it, note that this is the "quick and dirty way," if you get my drift ;) Btw, those are torrents so you'll need azureus or the like to download. It's true, "johnthecomposer," geeky chicks are hawt <_<;

Your teacher should be able to direct you to where you can get a student version or a version from your student book store. If you have to download it illegally then use torrents.

Ask for a sign up code (on here) for Demonoid.com
You can "find" many many things there. Just make sure you have a free torrent client to handle the download.
Well..... and at least an extra gig of HD space.
