How can I know more about bitcoin mining and how can I start if I have free electricity?

I have free electricity in my university. Unless I am taking down the whole university network, nobody cares what I use.

So, how can I get started mining for cheap? What do I have to buy?

I am not looking to make a lot of money, but if I earn a little something and learn more about bitcoin on the way, it will be a win in my book.

Please help a noob out!
