You're right. You're always using math.
Idk how they got 21k miles. But, per my community college, there are 16 weeks in one semester. On average there are 15-16 weeks in one college semester.
I think my math is right.
Can anyone help me calculate how many miles I'll drive in a year if I attend a 4-year university for two years?

Your math appears correct to me, but I haven't taken a math class since my senior year of highschool 8 years ago, but I did get a 5 on the AP Calc test so I think I should still know basic math after all this time.
Mileage is just a number.
My 112k mile '12 Touareg is in better shape cosmetically than 99% of the cars I detail.
Your math is correct. 14k over two years.
I estimate you'll do closer to 18k.

How did you get admitted if you need to ask a question a 7th grader can figure out?
Better hope you don’t have a one question final..and it turns out to be this!

I wouldn’t necessarily buy a beater...let’s say you end up putting 20,000 on the car in two years. That’s still 10,000 less than the average person would have driven in the same amount of time (average mileage driven a year in the US is around 15k).
So, you’re not going to beat on the car by doing 20,000 miles of driving in two years and you’re not going to hurt the resale value either. Heck, I bought a car last June and I’ve already put 16,000 miles on it (and that’s low for me because of the pandemic and I moved closer to work). Usually I put 26,000-30,000 miles a year on a car.
But if it’s cost you’re worried about? I get that. Especially with you heading to school. But you might save in the long run with something that is a little more reliable if it doesn’t cost too much more. And I like how you’re commuting to school instead of living there. Wish my daughter would do that...I spent close to 60,000 grand on her college the last two years (and that’s considered cheap nowadays).

Don't declare your major to be mathematics.

"...if I attend a 4 year university for 2 years....how much faster do I have to drive?", should've been your question.
Seriously, as mentioned above, second vehicles to save wear 'n tear on another can benefit you financially only in extreme cases.

All kidding aside, good luck with your studies. I was always too lazy and distracted to go to college. I did all right but I attended the school of hard knocks. I hope you find a livelihood and a car you’re comfortable with.

Are you sure that's the best major for you?

But this is grade school math, not high school.Same here man. Literally all 4 years of high school at the end I would go up to my math teacher with an F and beg to pass the class. Luckily they did pass me lol. I also had several learning disabilities so it helped my case a lot.
I know. I just wanted reassurance.
About?
So, I just wanted reassurance and get bombarded by a bunch of people. Dang man
