How to identify the nature of American institutions

Currently, the number of American higher learning institutions exceeds 4000; if you add together all the higher learning institutions in Canada, the UK, and Australia, it still wouldn't reach half of that in the U.S. Speaking about how to identify the nature of American institutions, an expert said that schools named after a state or city often simply fall under the category of public institutions, such as State University of New York, City University of New York, Cleveland State University, etc.; schools named after individuals can simply be categorized as private schools, such as Harvard University, etc.; those with religious terms are church-affiliated universities, such as Martin Methodist College (TN, Methodist Church), Christian Brothers University (TN, Christianity), etc.
