<p>Are these set for you (had one filled in when I went to apply for housing) or do you set it somewhere yourself?</p>
<p>Yeah, email addresses are set up for you when you come here.When you come to orientation, you'll be assigned a net ID which is basically what you use for everything when it comes to email, registering, etc. Your email address will be (your net ID)@uiuc.edu</p>
<p>So for instance my net ID is hhsueh2, and email address is <a href="mailto:hhsueh2@uiuc.edu">hhsueh2@uiuc.edu</a></p>
<p>If you search your name on uiuc.edu site, you can find out your id :)</p>
