hehe, you know the people here are way more insterested in civ than abstract concepts like TCP/IP 
anyway for me I used the CCNA Certification Library (ISBN: 1-58720-095-3). It's a bit Cisco centered (naturally) but very good, and helped me a lot to understand TCP/IP.
another book would be of course the "Computer Networks" by Andrew Tanenbaum, it's a bit dry but the guy certainly knows what he's writing about.

You can also contact Cisco through your university to see if they'll set up a networking academy program. Then you'll have hands on experience to go with the book learning.
A quick google search came up with this site which looks good: http://www.garykessler.net/library/tcpip.html
There are thousands of sites like this. After the basics, your learning will probably need to come from work on a real network and study of the RFC's. These are dry, but they are the start and end of how the internet works.

My dad's MIS guy taught me a little bit about TCP/IP using Tom Shaughnessy's Cisco Beginner's Guide. I was floored by the massive size of the book, but he just laughed and told me that was just a "summary version" of real Cisco stuff.
