I'm very interested in the program and I would like to learn how to use it in order to 3D print lego pieces using my school's printer. Thanks for any help.

I would strongly recommend you go through the built in tutorials under the help menu to start.
A few things to note:
1. Modeling Legos is a great learning exercise. As Jeff Mirisola suggested you should go through the SWX tutorials (Help -> SOLIDWORKS Tutorials)
2. You would need the highest resolution 3D printer to get anything close to a decent fit for Lego pieces. Most university printers available to students are fused deposition modeling (FDM) and they just don't have fine enough resolution. Stereolithography systems would be your best bet.
3. If you are going to this trouble perhaps you should consider making custom Lego pieces.
