You can download a Personal Edition of the Oracle Database server for free
from www.oracle.com. Use for educational purposes.

Minor correction - you can download the "Oracle Database Server software
and installation CDs" and elect to load the Personal Edition, Enterprise
Edition, or even Client from the software.

(All the variants are on the same CD set and you don't chose at download
time but at install time.)

Look carefully at the license agreement when you download - there's a
reason it's called a 'development license'.

Finally, there are a lot of myths around the definition of "Personal
Edition". Suggest looking at

get a better idea of the truth.
