I do not see how it is lying to say you went to Penn State,
no matter which campus you received your degree from.
If a prospective employer wants more info,
they can ask.
After you have experience in your field,
and are out of college a few years, I do not think it matters much.
In the case of Penn State, it’s not lying because Penn State is all one entity. Other states/universities may be different. It really comes down to how the university is set up. Some are separate entities (like Texas A&M, University of Maine), and others are not (like Penn State). Outsiders may not know the difference, but hopefully graduates will.
