They don't all teach the same things. As an example, here are the course catalogues for a BS in Computer Science at MIT and at Caltech

https://www.cms.caltech.edu/academics/ugrad/ugrad_cs (link at the end of the page for the course catalogue PDF; page 571 onwards in the pdf)

Not to mention the professors/lecturers, as well as the equipment and facilities also play quite the role

Even if you have 100% curriculum overlap, that does not mean you're doing the same projects, same assignments, same lecture setup, same balance of lecture/homework, same prof/TA access, etc.
