College is an electoral ward on the north‑east edge of Cheltenham, in Gloucestershire, England, taking its name from the nearby independent school Cheltenham College. It contains a mix of late Georgian and Victorian terraces and villas alongside more recent residential infill, with tree‑lined streets and pockets of green space that reflect the town’s 19th‑century spa heritage.
The ward has a varied social and economic character: families, school communities and some student presence combine with local shops, cafes and small businesses. Its proximity to the town centre and to Cheltenham’s festival venues gives it a steady flow of visitors during event seasons, while active community and conservation groups help preserve the area’s period architecture and neighbourhood feel.
