Question
i am starting college in a few weeks and they dont have a specific pre medical clasees so what classes would be best? and do you have to have 12 years of school?

Answer
Ther are no "pre-med" classes, only required courses for medical school including organic and inorganic chemistry, physics, calculus and biology. You have to have 4 yrs colege, 4 yrs medical school and 4 yrs anesthesia residency. There is no way around that.
