Default Very Little Driving

Alright, I'm going to college in a month, and I was planning on taking my truck to take all my **** there and back, but I might not use it that much during school like maybe once a week. Is there any danger in doing this or is this still an ok amount of driving? (Im not sure because I usually drive everyday and almost every other day its getting like 50 miles of driving haha)

Yeah you'll definately be fine, I didn't bring mine up first year of college and I sort of regreted it. It is much more helpful to have it on campus cause you don't have to worry about not being able to get somewhere when you need/want to. It shouldn't be a big deal. During the winter months, if you live where it gets real cold or stays below freezing for long periods of time, just make sure you have the right coolant mix, some good below freezing washer fluid, and that you go start it atleast once a week and run it for a little while (~10mins). Other than that you should be fine.

Yeah I wouldnt want to take it to Chicago either cause it will probably cost a bunch to run/park it there, not to mention all the traffic. Where do you go to school? Because most schools don't allow freshmen and sometimes even sophomores to have cars on campus.
