Find a system you prefer, and jump in head first. Read the Players handbook and the core rules. A lot of groups in the LFG section are very welcoming to new players. Just remember, not every player/DM combo works. So if the first group you try doesn't pan out, don't let it get you down. It's just as much a social game as anything else.  Above all else, have fun.

Hmm. Well, I'm pretty familiar with Dnd 3.5, 5e, and pathfinder. Feel free to shoot me a pm and I can help clear up any questions you might have. 
Honestly, your best bet is to see if your college has any clubs who play in person. Best way to learn.

Everyone starts somewhere. A lot of games on here are welcoming to New Players and the GM and fellow players can help teach while you go along (it is even a checkmark on the game in LFG to say if they welcome new players). Which player's basic rules book are you reading so far? Is it D&D 5E?

In your situation (little time because of college, and just starting to learn D&D 5E), I would advise that you look for "one shot" games of D&D 5E in the Looking For Group system, that specifically say they are welcoming new players, as a way to keep learning with other people and actually try playing it. If it says one-shot or short campaign, that way it won't be a long term commitment on your schedule. Keep reading your player's handbook too of course, because it shows a good effort to get prepared. Getting into a game will let you ask questions directly to a Game Master. &nbsp;Here is an initial search for D&D 5E games that are looking for players currently, and welcomes new players: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search/?days=&dayhours=" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search/?days=&dayhours=</a>... Also, there are recorded and broadcasted games to watch other people playing if you like, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MsRoll20/videos" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/user/MsRoll20/videos</a>
