CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Should or does a Missionary need to go to college?

How silly of you to say it with a "?" Haha
Okay so yes?
I don't know yet if God wants me to or not b/c you know that
That's what matter the most
Is there a test to be a missionary?

I could live in hope
It's probably best if a missionary does some study prior. You could major in Intercultural Studies, which is pretty common for people wanting to go into long-term missions. I have a lot of friends that are majoring in this for that purpose. A lot goes into ministering to different cultures and world views and knowledge and study on how to handle that is important.
But no, it's not absolutely necessary. It's not biblical that you have to fulfill anything to go out and testify about Jesus and God's work among the nations. But it's something to seriously consider.

I would go to school and study some intercultural studies, religion, theology, or foreign language. It would help.

Have you thought of doing missionary training? They have trainings at places like Beautiful Feet in Oklahoma and some other places.
