<p>when do we get to choose our e-mail address? ???@uiuc.edu</p>
<p>They assign them to you, it'll probably be <a href="mailto:yourlastnameNumber@uiuc.edu">yourlastnameNumber@uiuc.edu</a></p>
<p>depending if your last name fits, doesnt fit and how many people share your last name</p>
<p>You're officially assigned your email address when you come down for orientation.</p>
<p>Sometimes you can find out early by searching for yourself on the phonebook: <a href="http://www.uiuc.edu/ricker/PH%5B/url%5D">http://www.uiuc.edu/ricker/PH</a></p>
<p>yeah or go to uiuc.edu and go to find people. you will spot yourself if you are in. that's how my sister found out if others were accepted or not.</p>
<p>thanks guys,
but can't we change those?
mine is <a href="mailto:kim91@uiuc.edu">kim91@uiuc.edu</a>
but i don't like the number 91. ^_^</p>
<p>ummm you could try and check with CITES (the email service provider) when you get here. Unless you really have something against the number you really shouldn't need to change it.</p>
<p>haha, too many Kims at UIUC. Congrats on being the 91st :P</p>
<p>Unless you have a really good reason, CITES won't change your student ID for you. Not liking the number 91 is not a good reason for them.</p>
<p>Yeah I was figuring that but what if his grandpa died at 91 or something. Just want to leave an option.</p>
