I have a couple of dictionaries now, that say "Compact" or "Concise" and they're not enough. I have a huge unabridged one but it's truly a hassle to drag it out and I don't have room for it to sit out on my desk all the time. Someone gave me one by a German publisher that was a good size and it turned out it was for someone who spoke German and was learning English, and there were no genders or parts of speech on any of the German entries.
I have Langenscheidt's Großwörterbuch, Deutsch als Fremdsprache, but I never seem to use it. I always use a website, dict.cc or deepl.com.

Have you considered getting an electronic one that you can have on your phone?

Thank you all. I've found a Collins dictionary that says "College" and is about 1500 pages so I'm hoping that will be what I'm looking for.
