Fact check: What colleges did Donald Trump actually attend and when?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, Donald Trump attended two colleges: Fordham University and the University of Pennsylvania ^[1]. According to the available information, Trump first attended Fordham University before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned his bachelor's degree ^[1].

However, the analyses reveal a significant gap in available information. Most sources examined do not provide relevant details about Trump's educational background ^{[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]}. Only one source out of six analyzed actually addresses the specific question about which colleges Trump attended.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The analyses highlight several important pieces of missing context:

• Specific dates and timeframes for Trump's attendance at each institution are not provided in any of the analyzed sources
• Academic performance details remain undisclosed, with one source noting that Trump has actively worked to prevent the release of his academic records ^[5]
• Circumstances surrounding the transfer from Fordham to the University of Pennsylvania are not explained
• Degree details beyond the bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania are not specified

The analyses also reveal that Trump has threatened colleges over potential leaks of his grades ^[1], suggesting there may be sensitive information about his academic performance that he prefers to keep private. This creates a situation where complete transparency about his educational background is limited.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question itself does not contain misinformation or bias - it is a straightforward factual inquiry. However, the scarcity of comprehensive information in the analyzed sources suggests that finding complete details about Trump's educational timeline may be challenging due to:

• Active efforts to suppress academic records as mentioned in the analyses ^{[1] [5]}
• Limited coverage of this topic in recent sources, with most analyzed articles focusing on other aspects of Trump's relationship with higher education institutions

The question appears to be seeking basic biographical information that should be readily available, but the analyses demonstrate that even fundamental details like attendance dates are not consistently reported in the examined sources.
