Matt,
As long as you are not using the software for commercial purposes, I can't imagine you'll have any problems. These software companies are not 'giving away' their products out of benevolence, they are trying to put them into the hands to train future users whose companies will purchase this software when they hire them. It seems to me that your objective is to learn the software which is mutually beneficial to you and Solidworks and the reasoning behind their student software pricing.
FWIW, I use expensive CAD packages in my business which also use subscription services (pork). The only instances of prosecution against the user license that I've heard of were for companies using bootlegged software and then getting snitched on by ex-employees.
Go for it!
Jeff
