<p>When you decide to become a student at a college, they typically give you an email account for that school.</p>
<p>Does the school monitor what email is received/sent by the student who uses that email address? Do most college students use their college email for all purposes?</p>
<p>I do not use it for personal purposes because my professors typically email me (sometimes daily) and I like to keep school and life separate. My college actually suggests you only use the college email for school purposes only.</p>
<p>No, the school doesn't monitor the email unless it's a creepy religious school (not that all religious schools are creepy... I'm talking about like Bob Jones and stuff). Most of the stuff in my school email is school-related but I also have my e-bills for my power, water, etc sent to it so they don't get lost in the melee of the other email I have which fills up with junk really fast.</p>
<p>Like AUlostchick said, schools don't monitor your email. And also like the others, I only use my college email for school-related things.</p>
<p>I only use my college email for school related things, just because I like to keep things separate. I have 1 email for school, 1 for work-related/job-hunting emails, 1 work email, 1 email for personal/friends stuff, and 1 for registering for sites where i know I'll be getting spam. Even though that's 5 different email accounts, it's just easier for me to be organized this way (especially with POP3).</p>
<p>I use my school e-mail primarily for school related things...classes, on campus jobs, advisor memos, etc. I use my AOL account for everything non-school related</p>
<p>I use my school email for pretty much everything now.</p>

<p>Nice to know that:</p>
<ol>
<li>You're so tolerant</li>
<li>You hurl accusations like that with [I'm guessing] zero proof.</li>
</ol>
<p>I use my school address for everything. The school doesn't monitor emails but I suppose for very special circumstances they could be accessed by the school.</p>

<p>No proof that they monitor e-mails, but proof indeed that they're quite creepy/restrictive: Student</a> Expectations ~ BJU</p>
<p>I'm all for tolerance, but reserve the right to think that "schools" in which Creation Geology is on the curriculum and students are prohibited from being gay are, well, stupid. </p>
<p>Also, I highly recommend setting your school e-mail to autoforward to a central e-mail account (like Gmail). I like Gmail because you can add different "Outgoing" addresses. So when you send a message from your gmail account you can still make it look like it's coming from your school e-mail.</p>

<p>In other words, you're tolerant of everything that doesn't offend your sensabilities. How very progressive of you. I'm a Christian and I even think their policies are absurd, but so what? Let them do whatever they want, I don't care. You hurling baseless accusations against people with whom you disagree doesn't reflect well on you. </p>
<p>I'm pretty sure the administrators at BJU don't have time to sit around reading everyone's "Hey, U want 2 meet 4lunch?" emails. </p>
<p>And to answer the original question, I have my college address forward to my gmail address so I can access them both at the same time.</p>

<p>Nice straw man argument. Re-read my post, and see if you catch the part where I said that the school shouldn't be allowed to exist or teach whatever it wants to teach.* If I were intolerant of everything that offended my sensibilities and saw fit to hurl baseless accusations at people/ideas which which I disagreed, I wouldn't be a very good college student (but I would probably do very well at Bob Jones University!)</p>
<p>But this is completely irrelevant to the thread so I'm not going to say anything else. </p>
<ul>
<li>There is none because I didn't say that.</li>
</ul>
<p>That was technically a red herring on your part, as you never defended your baseless accusations of BJU reading their students' emails. But I'll let it slide. I'm also guessing you've never in your life met a BJU grad, and thus your backhanded slap at them is also baseless. I'll let that slide as well, since you probably won't respond to any more posts.</p>
<p>Also, re:emails, I would caution people to think about it before they they rely solely on their school's email account. What happens when you graduate? It's a pain to get everyone to write you at your new address, and you tend to lose contacts doing so. Some schools will let you keep it forever, but for the most part you lose the addy when you graduate.</p>
