Hi Ken,
Thanks for the help, but I should have mentioned that I want to do
this within a loop. Perhaps it would be better for me to explain my
exact situation.
I am running two loops so that I can calculate estimates for years

What you are looking for is not an if clause but logical indexing:
years[years==Freshmen] - 1
