College View is a neighborhood in southeast Lincoln, Nebraska, United States which was previously a village in Lancaster County.^[1]

In 1891, Union College was founded southeast of nearby Lincoln and a small village formed around it.^[2] The first post office was established in College View in 1891.^[3] In 1892, the village had grown to around 1,000 residents and was incorporated as College View.^[2]

During the second world war, Medical Recruits marched and trained in College View. There are pictures of soldiers such as Desmond T. Doss marching under the Clocktower on the Union College campus.
