<p>how does the email addy for wustl works? first <a href="mailto:name_lastname@wustl.edu">name_lastname@wustl.edu</a>? or is it different?</p>
<p>Chances from department to department. :(</p>
<p>for undergrad?</p>
<p>Even in undergrad, it's completely different from department to department. I've never understood it myself.</p>
<p>you can set your own university email (<a href="mailto:blahblah@wustl.edu">blahblah@wustl.edu</a>), and everyone has a school email (<a href="mailto:lastnamepartoffirstname@school.wustl.edu">lastnamepartoffirstname@school.wustl.edu</a>)</p>
<p>not all of the school emails follow that rule though - engineering for example uses initials, sometimes 2, sometimes 3, and a number</p>
<p>yes, but if someone sends you an email using your given userid (initials+lastname)@wustl.edu, and drop the department notification (artsci,gwb, etc.), you will still receive the mail.</p>
<p>right - as long as they know your id... because you can format it in all sorts of different ways when you choose it</p>
