Harvard was the first college in the US. It was built in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1636, before the US had become an independent nation.

Harvard University is composed of Harvard College and ten other separate academic units. It would be equally correct to say that Harvard College or Harvard University is the oldest college.

What was America's first f-ing college?

Harvard College ... (now, University)...Not true! Harvard was the first school in the colonies, but Dickinson College came about less than a week after the Treaty of Paris officially ended the Revolution, which guaranteed international recognition of the United States of America (making it the first college in the US).Talk about semantics-- The first college established on what we know as present day America was Henricus College in 1619. It was established in Henricus, VA (present day Henrico, VA), the second successful colony of America (second to Jamestown).America's first college that is still in operation in today is Harvard University (1636).
