Going to college is a very good thing because you're going to acquire a lot of knowledge from there that you're never going to regret.

Does one need to go to college to learn graphic design?

There are so many people who didn't go to school but they are very successful in what they are doing today. This is because they were able to acquire a skill that is very tangible to make a very good living from. So, it is not a must for you to go to school before you can become a successful graphic designer.
Skill Acquisition is very important, and learning graphics is one that is very necessary in order to become a better person. So, going to school is not the pathway to becoming a successful person in life.
There's nothing wrong with going to school and still going for skill acquisition programs. They can be done simultaneously but if you can't do both of them, it's better to finish with skills acquisition before making school a priority.
One can go to college and learn all about graphic design and still not know the beginning from the end. Another can start practicing through online tutorials and be an expert in designs.
Both are good if the opportunity comes but if there's no creativity, it will be hard to be an expert in it.

There is no doubt that you can do both at the same time, but I am of the opinion that one should focus on becoming better at getting the skills before trying to go to school to avoid certain distractions.
It is not everyone that is privileged to go to college because of the financial requirements for you too successfully attend college. This is the reason why you have to make use of what is at your disposal and learn what you have to in order to acquire some certain skills. I don't have to go to college to become a graphics designer.
