@CC_Sorin can I change my username due to privacy reasons please?
Can you send an email to admin@collegeconfidential.com with this request? Please specify your preferred new username. It will take a while but we can do it.
We’re upgrading our systems soon so that this is a lot easier to do in the future.
Hi thank you for your response. Yes, I will do that. Thank you once again!
Greetings! I hope to change my username as well, due to privacy reasons. Thank you so much for your help once again, this forum for me truly means so much!
