究竟大學院校名前面應否有"the"?

究竟大學院校名前面應否有"the"?

My personal rule of thumb would be that if the school name includes an "of", use "the": The University of Minnesota, The College of St. Catherine, The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, etc. (And when abbreviating one of these names, use "the" only if the "of" is present in the abbreviation: "I attend the University of California at San Diego" → "I attend UCSD"; but "I attend the University of Minnesota" → "I attend the U of M".)

But if the school name does not include an "of", and especially if its name consists of a proper noun prepended to a school type, do not use "the": Carleton College, South Dakota State University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, etc.

(Naturally, as pointed out by Shaun in his answer, there will be exceptions.)

AnonymousMy grammar book says that we should insert "the" before the university named as "University of ~ (the name of states, towns, etc.)" (e.g. the University of Michigan), whereas any articles should not be placed before the university named as "~ University" (e.g. Harvard University).

According to this, it seems that, for example,"Hankuk University of Foreign Studies" should accompany "the," going by "the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies."
Your logic is faulty. The grammar book says to use the if the first word is University, and not to use the when the first word is not University.

Hankuk University of Foreign Studies does not contain University as the first word. Yet you wish to apply the rule as if the first word of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies were University.

Applying the rule from your grammar book should lead you to expect not to use the before Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.

I don't see anything wrong with the rule given in your grammar book, provided it is applied properly. Naturally, you will find a few exceptions, but these are not particularly numerous.
