<p>I'm just curious to see how every college forms their email addresses.</p>
<p>Kenyon's format is last name, first initial @ Kenyon, or <a href="mailto:doej@kenyon.edu ">doej@kenyon.edu </a>,
while friends at other schools have addresses more like <a href="mailto:john.b.doe@mascotmail.schoolname.edu ">john.b.doe@mascotmail.schoolname.edu </a> which I think is ridiculous and overly complicated.</p>
<p>What about your school?</p>

<p>Uncheck the "Automatically parse links in text" to post a longer address.</p>

<p>some schools allow students to pick their own but recommend comment formats like first initial-last <a href="mailto:name@school.edu ">name@school.edu </a>
other schools use the last name followed by a portion of your student ID</p>

<p>Mine is first initial then last part of last name. Mine doesn't have a number, but some people do have one at the end.</p>
<p><a href="mailto:FirstInitialPartOfLastName@utk.edu ">FirstInitialPartOfLastName@utk.edu </a></p>
<p>part of last name + random letters and numbers @ school . edu</p>

<p>whatever<em>you</em><a href="mailto:want@ucla.edu ">want@ucla.edu </a></p>
<p><a href="mailto:lastnamefirstinitalmiddleinital@servername.schoolname.edu ">lastnamefirstinitalmiddleinital@servername.schoolname.edu </a>
People with long last names (like mine) have letters cut off so the whole string is 10 characters, and people with common names have numbers in theirs.</p>
<p>[Edit: There is not a space between the n and the a, it's just formating oddly]</p>
