You can’t serialize with LINQ. You can use XmlSerializer.

  XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(College));

  // Create a FileStream to write with.
  Stream writer = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create);
  // Serialize the object, and close the TextWriter
  serializer.Serialize(writer, i);
  writer.Close();
