College asks for only that? How can they force a student to use only a particular compiler?
Better use DevCpp

Hi,
if you are using linux then install gcc and your done, you can use gcc (Gnu C Compiler).
g++ (Gnu C++ compiler) its free.
www.gnu.org for gcc and g++ development tools.

and if you are using windows install cygwin and gcc.
*www.cygwin.com/

it will help you to understand linux environment also.

You can't have TC. It's proprietary by Turbo. Use DevC++ instead.

Arrey you will be using it in your home only, right? So whats the deal.. you can use any free good compilers as others suggested here.
If you can't get the TC copy onto the pendrive, ask them to copy on the CD.
If they insists to download from net only, then tell you can't download illegal cracked TC from net and ask for other alternatives. They sure would have solutions.. [:)]

I think you can get Turbo C v3.0 on certain sharing websites like esnips.com and so. Just search "turbo c" there.

Good luck peeling your eyes off :)
