I studied 4 years to get on about a 3rd grade reading level (440 kanji...give or take). You will need about 4 or 5 times that to think about college level. Japanese was only part of my studies, so if you were study 4 to 6 hours a day, I supposed it is possible.

For a native English speaker it takes at least twice as long, many three times as long to learn Japanese as it does Spanish or French or another western language.
