The dictionaries document and describe how the word is used, they do not prescribe how to use it. And by the time you get down to definition #4 you're out on the fringes....

In any case, we do NOT misuse "momentarily." We've improved it. (That's my story and I'm sticking with it.)

By the way, I think here in the US, we would use the word "college" to mean any college or university, but we would not use "university" unless it actually was a university.

Unless we were trying to sound British. Or to sound pretentious. Or is that redundant?

Kidding! I kid.
