Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has the reputation of "the best university in the world" and is one of the top universities in the world. In China, when it comes to renaming a college as a university, many people will take MIT as an example and think that it is not impossible for a college to become a world-class university, and being called a college is not necessarily worse than a university.
However, it is not accurate to use the name of MIT to prove that there is no difference between colleges and universities. Because the English name of "Massachusetts institute of Technology" is "MIT", the English name of the school is not college but Institute.
The correct translation of MIT should be MIT, but the translation of MIT existed as early as the Qing Dynasty, so it was wrong and misused. In North America, institute refers to a school, college or university. According to the academic environment of each school, translation into Chinese is different.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology should be translated into Chinese as "MIT" according to the faculty size and academic environment of its school, but most people in China are used to using the name MIT, which is a conventional usage.
There are many famous universities in the west, which firmly guard the tradition and will not change their names easily. No matter how popular universities are in the world, MIT always uses the word college.
