how many years do you have t go to college to be vet?

Typically you need a Bachelors Degree (4 years) followed by a Degree in Veterinary Medicine (another 4 years) so 8 years total.

keep in mind that there are few veterinary colleges. most states have only one and many have none. to get in you need not only good grades but it helps to have a lot of animal experience, like working or volunteering at the zoo or a vet hospital or the local pound. keep tra k through the years of your work with animals and what you did.
