There is no definitive answer to why Edgar Allan Poe was expelled from the University of Virginia in 1826. Some theories suggest it was due to academic failures or financial difficulties, while others claim it was for gambling or other misconduct. Poe's own account is unclear, as he never provided a detailed explanation.
