Well, it could be a good start...
But if you have got seriouse intentions in 3D and, have enough cash then go for something more powerful!
I've got Cinema4D and I am completely satisfied with it.
On the e-bay or some forums you could find some good price for a Lightwave or Cinema4D or Electric Image Universe.
MAX is quite popular but after you get sick with it you cannot sell it! Yes, Discreet have a marvelous policy.
Try a demo of Realsoft3D (www.realsoft.fi). As a student you get a totally commercial release for some 350USD!
To recapitulate, it depends on how much money you are willing to spend and what do you need the program for.
good luck with your choice!
