Just a side note as a Pennsylvania native…. 

”Penn” refers to the University of Pennsylvania which is a private Ivy League school.  It’s also sometimes “UPenn”

Penn State is a state school and part of the big 10 conference. It is never referred to as “Penn”. 
It is also often referenced by its full name THE Pennsylvania State University (Emphasis on “the”).

WGU is in fact a better name.
Anything that says 'World Campus' or 'Global Campus' feels fake to employer's eyes.
'Global Campus' simply means watered down, fake version of something.

Also, Penn State World Campus is too overpriced for what it is. There's a high chance that you get nothing out of their degree.
I have decided to ignore the 'global campus' stuffs permanently.

The diploma/transcript will not mention "world campus" and it's set up to be exactly the same as an on-campus degree from Penn State.

Then you're lying. You never lived in Pennsylvania. You never attended Penn State. Employer can reject your application for that false statement. 

If you say you got your degree from WGU, which is a fully online school, then it makes more sense.

Global campus degrees create confusion and make your application look more fake.

He’s not lying. I grew up in Pennsylvania.  Lived there for about 30 years - in Erie, where one of the Penn State campuses is located. A childhood friend is the Cheerleading coach and another works in the marketing department.  My mom lives about a five minute drive from the campus. Penn State is very proud of their one university philosophy across all campuses, including online.

I have done this and it turned out to be completely useless. You can never be treated like an on-campus graduate even if your diploma looks the same. It's a big waste of time. Then I found that WGU's grads are doing much better.
