Maybe this depends on location, I am in Texas and much of the year jeans will stink after wearing 2 times, also college students walk a lot. Walking several miles in 100 degree heat will make changing them necessary.

It depends excessively on season and climate; adjust for all new locations and times of the year.
If a climate induces sweat assume reduced upper limits even for breathable items (E.G. shorts).
If you smoke or apply perfumes, all of these times are out the window for my tastes; it is impossible for you to have fresh cloths.
That's likely way too frequent and will quickly wear the denim out. Granted, it depends.
For casual/social wear, washing jeans every 4-6 weeks is typically fine. Obviously wash them sooner if there's any smell that simply airing them out doesn't cure, or if they're visibly dirty.
I agree that everything else on your body should pretty much be worn once and washed, barring top-layer delicates such as sweaters or cardigans.
