The United States has no regulation regarding what constitutes a college or a university. Usually, a university is said to be made up of several colleges. According to an article in Wikipedia, "Harvard, William and Mary, and Yale ... were organized in the days of colonial poverty, on the plans of the English colleges which constitute the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Graduates of Harvard and Yale carried these British traditions to other places, and similar colleges grew up in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Rhode Island." Of the above three, Harvard was the first to open it's doors to students in 1636.
