gui programming

[sambid]

I have previously experienced with c++ console programming with turbo and dev c++ compilers but now i want to move on to a graphical interface for my college project. Most of my friends have opted visual basic or java and i dont want to be competing with a typical console interface along with this i prefer to program right from scratch plus i want to have ability for low level jobs as well. please help me find a suitable tool.
P.S. i dont have a credit card and internet speed to download big tools from internet

The usual multi-platform answers to this question are: Qt, SFML[+ optional SFGUI], or wxwidgets. They should all be free, Qt is probably the biggest package filesize-wise.
