20.65 years

Explanation:

The number of years for investing $11,000 at rate 11% to have $77,000

PV: $11,000

FV: $77,000

Rate: 11%

FV = PV * (1+rate) ^tenor

⇔ 77000 = 11000 * (1+11%) ^tenor

⇔ (1.11) ^tenor = 77000/11000 = 7

we do the logarithm of number 7 base 1.11 to have tenor:

Tenor = 18.65 years

Together with 2 years waiting for graduation, you have to wait 20.65 yerars to have $77,000 from now.
