Shouldn't many of these subcategories be renamed "Universities and colleges in X" for standardization? I would list them for renaming over at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion, but there are just so many and I'd like to know what the general consensus around here is before doing such a thing.

Definitely not. "Universities" and "colleges" are only the same thing in the United States. At most "Universities and colleges" in foo should created as a parent of "Universities in Foo". This has already been done for the UK, and possibly for other countries. Cloachland 18:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
