I can notice that the leftmost is MIT, the tallest one is UCBerkeley, but I couldn't figure out others. May be the second one from left is Cambridge.

    They're just buildings that look like they might be typical university buildings. Many universities have a clock tower, for example, not only UC Berkeley.

  • @ff524 Still no one can deny that leftmost depicts MIT

    You mean the one with columns? Again, many universities have such buildings. See e.g. Columbia University.

  • Cambridge, England or Cambridge, USA? Both are home to famous universities.

    @gerrit yes, but for all I know the universities in Cambridge, MA are usually not referred to as "Cambridge." (Furthermore, one of them was already mentioned separately.)

I do not think that the buildings are intended to represent particular universities, instead the are just fictional buildings that look like university buildings.
