It's whatever your official record says. That is black and white.
Most universities have multiple campus locations within a university. For instance, University of North Carolina has 16 universities, each with a different name. UNC-Chapel Hill is our state's flagship school, but it has many campus locations. It's in Raleigh, but I worked at the Kannapolis campus (2 hours away) and my resume says UNC-Chapel Hill Nutrition Research Institute, Kannapolis, NC. (that's a mouthful!) but in order to be accurate, you need the whole thing. Had I graduated from there, I'd list it the same way.
I know some will suggest also listing the college within the university, as is often the case when a college is particularly prestigious like Wharton School of Business - instead of the University of Pennsylvania, where the school is a college within the university. I don't think I've ever seen a single member's siggy here indicate the college within TESU that they graduated from (Heavin School of Arts and Sciences in my case) so you don't have to always list everything... but as to what your friends have heard of or not heard of? That's a flawed system. You can't trust that because you have no idea what the person on the receiving end of your resume has or hasn't heard of! Either way, my money says go with transparency.
