About how many hours of classes/study are there in college?
I want to be prepared.

Depends how many classes youre taking. Depending on the school, expect to meet 2 or 3 times a week for 1-3 hours depending on the course length.

usually 2-3 times a week for either an hour each time or an hour and a half (6 hours of in-class time per class per week is standard).

If you're in a science class expect labs that meet once a week from 2-4 hours a time.

Often classes will also have "discussions" that meet 1-2 times a week for 1-2 hours.

As for study, it really depends on your workload, but for a top university, 4-6 hours a day is pretty standard.
