Hi Anh Tuan,
I have addressed this in a message.
Those schools that you mentioned cannot be universities as they don't 
have enough diversified disciplines to be universities. Whatsoever goo 
they are they are not universities. Caltech does not have Art and Human 
studies for instance.

Cheers
Aiviet
