University, College, Uni
noun
What's the big study? If I had to choose, I'd probably say this is college or university.
だいがく
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. Since 大 has two on'yomi readings, here's a mnemonic to help you remember which one to use: Your university is best known for its dye gawking (だいがく). It's a sport in which you gawk at dye, and your university is the best at it! Other universities might be known for their football or basketball teams, but yours is the best at dye gawking.
