College Town is a village in Berkshire, England, and a suburb of Sandhurst.

The settlement lies north of the A321 road and is approximately 0.5 miles (0.80 km) west of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

The main reason why thousands of people in Blackwater Valley flock here is because of The Meadows Shopping Development which consists of an Marks and Spencer Department Store and a Tesco Extra Supermarket, two of the largest in the country.

It is also home to The Royal Military Academy, a training centre for the British Army.

The only part of it is College Farm Housing Estate, an upmarket 1980s Housing Development and Sandhurst Comprehensive School.
