<p>I would be far more likely to say “L-A-C” rather than “LAC” as one word, so I would use an, not a, as the article. Of course, nobody’s arguing that it would be “a liberal arts college.” It all depends on how one chooses to pronounce LAC.</p>
<p>Also, I know Reed is very nerdy and intellectual, but I get the feeling that students there are so caught up in academics that they don’t really have too much time for anything else.</p>
<p>I’d be interested to hear more thoughts on the intellectual environment at Pomona.</p>

<p>I’ve never heard nor said LAC as a word - only spelled out. Therefore, it’s “an L-A-C” for me. It might be regional. The idea of going to “a LAC(k) college” just wouldn’t seem right to me sounded out.</p>
<p>And I didn’t go to one. I went to a big state U. My oldest goes to one, but in general, I work in a high school (math/science) so that’s where my experience comes from.</p>
<p>I’m not at all picky about grammar (more or less). I’m just used to answering questions when people ask. ;)</p>

<p>You may find this string helpful in your question regarding Pomona College. My daughter attends and is so very impressed with her fellow students.</p>
<p>Thanks for that link, artrell. It was very helpful. =)</p>
