<p>crazy party school u def in</p>

<p>UConn's fast shedding its reputation of only being a "crazy party school." In the past it has been noted for its strong athletics, school spirit, and wild parties. Those days are still present, but blended well with rigourous academics and growing opportunites. Coupled with the UConn reconstruction programs, basically every building on campus have already been renovated or reconstructed or will be in the near future. To take a quote out of it's welcome statement, "It is an exciting time to be a UConn student."</p>

<p>"It is an exciting time to be a UConn student."</p>

<p>Wouldn't that "a" have to be an "an"?</p>

<p>Why would it be "an"?</p>

<p>It's pronounced "You-Conn", like Yukon.</p>

<p>I know that buddy. I live in Connecticut after all. Putting an "an" before the "UConn" would be grammatically correct because you change "a" to an "an" in front of a vowel which "UConn" begins with.</p>

<p>No, it depends on the pronunciation. If, phonetically, the word starts with a "y" sound (as in "you"), then you put an "a" in front of it, not "an".</p>

<p>For example, you give "a eulogy", not "an eulogy" (and that word starts with two vowels!), or you attend "a university", not "an university".</p>

<p>Or "an hour".</p>

<p>I don't know what you're talking about, about UConn's reputation going back up. Everyone (in-state, anyways) still sees it as a crazy party school, and people who think that "an" goes before UConn are there in large masses.</p>

Not from what I've seen. A lot of people I've met acknowledge it, but especially alums. Not everyone sees it this way of course, but from what I've seen, its reputation definitely is going up.</p>
