I haven't attended Penn State or MIT, but I have attended the University of North Texas and Yale, and I agree with you 100%.
While there were differences in curriculum, the biggest difference I found was in expectations for the work I produced. My Yale classes have simply expected be to do more with the material: take it farther, make more inferences, produce a more insightful answer/project than the ones I took at UNT did.
Regardless of branding, I could never say the experiences have been interchangeable.
