Will Byers does not (yet) have any officially confirmed college in the Stranger Things canon, so there is no canonical answer to “where does Will Byers go to college.”

On-screen storyline

In the show so far, Will is only depicted through his childhood and teenage years in the 1980s, dealing with the Upside Down, the Mind Flayer, and then moving with his family from Hawkins to California. The story has not advanced to a point where his post–high school or college life is shown or described on screen.

Official sources vs fan ideas

  • Official profiles and episode guides describe Will’s school years (Hawkins Elementary, Hawkins Middle, later life in Lenora, California) but stop well before college age.
  • Fan wikis and discussion threads talk about what kind of college he might attend (for art, design, or something related to his creative side), but these are purely speculative and not endorsed by Netflix or the Duffer Brothers.

Common fan speculation

Fans often imagine that, if the story ever jumps forward in time:

  • He might go to an art or design school in a bigger city, reflecting his artistic and sensitive nature.
  • Some fans prefer the idea that he stays close to his friends (for example, following wherever Mike or the others go), turning college into a way to keep the group together.

These are just headcanons and theories, not established plot points.

“Latest news” and future seasons

As of the most recent publicly available updates, no official material (trailers, interviews, or released scripts) has stated a specific college for Will Byers in any future season or epilogue. Any concrete college name you see online is either a joke, fanfiction, or a theory rather than confirmed canon.

TL;DR: In current Stranger Things canon, Will Byers has not been shown or stated to attend any specific college, so “where does Will Byers go to college” has no official answer yet.
