No, since you say you look things up, it is out there. All you would have to do is look up Jerry Falwell's history.

He dropped out of a college that had two different names prior to starting his own in the same city.

Then I happily give up. What’s the answer (and a source, please)?

Falwell briefly attended Virginia Christian College and "dropped out" claiming it didn't teach christian values. Virginia Christian College later went on to change it's name to Lynchburg College, not to be confused with his later university "Liberty."

And I just looked it up right now, it seems the board of Trustees have since changed the name from Lynchburg College to "University Of Lynchburg" in 2017. 

So it started out as VCC then went to Lynchburg College and is now University of Lynchburg. Either way back whenever Falwell went to VCC he dropped out.

Ok, you fucked up a few things. ‘Virginia Christian College’ didn’t exist during Falwell’s lifetime. It became Lynchburg College in 1919, before Falwell was born. And he didn’t ‘drop out’, he transferred to Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri (a transfer isn’t remotely the same as dropping out). And it became the University Of Lynchburg in 2018, not 2017.

Good job.

You got me on the VCC part. I remembered that incorrectly. But of course he would claim he "transferred". He claimed that it was because Lynchburg College didn't teach "true Christian values". The way I remember it, the truth was he was failing and got out before it could be official on record. Also known as an "audit". 

But he DID attend LC now known as University Of Lynchburg.

His Liberty University and LC/ now known as University of Lynchburg have never liked each other. 

And graduating from a "bible college" is hardly impressive. It is like getting a degree in Dungeons And Dragons.

If he was failing, then there was already a record of it. Falwell was a reprehensible enough human being without you making guesses about his academic record. Find me ONE source that says he was failing when he transferred. And even if he WAS doing poorly when he changed schools, it wouldn’t count as ‘dropping out’.

This is a pretty stark example of why you suck at creating trivia questions: you ask a question that can be answered and then come up with some non-answer that you can’t verify.
