College is a compact ward in the district of Teignbridge, in Devon, England, centred on part of the town of Newton Abbot. It combines residential streets, local shops and community facilities, with a noticeable presence of education provision - most notably Newton Abbot College - and sits within easy reach of the town centre and green spaces.
