A check of five dictionaries (including the Answers.com reference) all gave college the designation as noun; not one gave a designation as adjective. But language is a living thing, constantly growing and evolving. We have all used the word college as an adjective for things like college loans, college transcripts, college campus, college town, etc. Use college as an adjective if you like, but not on an English test.
