how is your college email address formatted?

<p><a href="mailto:chooseWHATEVERyouWANT@ufl.edu">chooseWHATEVERyouWANT@ufl.edu</a> :) I chose a combination of my first name and last name, though, to make it resemble professionalism, not something liek <a href="mailto:Coolsk8r87@ufl.edu">Coolsk8r87@ufl.edu</a></p>

<p>It's the first letters of your first, middle, and last name, and then a random number and letter. That's what my username is actually (don't have a middle name) so it would be <a href="mailto:sv3a@virginia.edu">sv3a@virginia.edu</a>. However they do let you use aliases, so I generally use that.</p>

<p>Ours is a bit confusing:</p>

<p>first four letters of last name + first and middle initials + year you <a href="mailto:matriculated@wfu.edu">matriculated@wfu.edu</a></p>

<p><a href="mailto:lastname@wisc.edu">lastname@wisc.edu</a></p>

<p>if taken... <a href="mailto:firstinitiallastname@wisc.edu">firstinitiallastname@wisc.edu</a></p>

<p>if taken... <a href="mailto:firstinitialmiddleinitiallastname@wisc.edu">firstinitialmiddleinitiallastname@wisc.edu</a></p>

<p>if taken... <a href="mailto:firstinitialmiddleinitiallastname1@wisc.edu">firstinitialmiddleinitiallastname1@wisc.edu</a></p>

<p>if taken... <a href="mailto:firstinitialmiddleinitiallastname2@wisc.edu">firstinitialmiddleinitiallastname2@wisc.edu</a></p>

<p>I think you get the point. Since I'm the only person with my last name, I'm lucky enough to have the first one.</p>

<p><a href="mailto:Whateveryouwant@sas.upenn.edu">Whateveryouwant@sas.upenn.edu</a>
@wharton.upenn.edu
@nursing.upenn.edu
@seas.upenn.edu</p>

<p><a href="mailto:whatever@northwestern.edu">whatever@northwestern.edu</a></p>

<p>most ppl use <a href="mailto:firstinitial-lastname@northwestern.edu">firstinitial-lastname@northwestern.edu</a> although ppl w/ shorter names (like me) sometimes use <a href="mailto:firstname-lastname@northwestern.edu">firstname-lastname@northwestern.edu</a></p>

<p><a href="mailto:whateveryouwant@uchicago.edu">whateveryouwant@uchicago.edu</a></p>

<p>I have known people who have <a href="mailto:whateveryouwant@midway.uchicago.edu">whateveryouwant@midway.uchicago.edu</a> instead. </p>

<p>But the first seems to be what the majority has. </p>

<p>Actually, I will be going there next year. :)</p>

<p>Ours are:
[first, middle, last initials][random numbers]@[school acronym].edu</p>

<p>first initial
middle initial
first 4 letters of last name
@wm.edu</p>

<p>When I was at Pitt it was...</p>

<p>yourinitials#<a href="mailto:ofpeopleassignedwithyourinitialsbeforeyou@pitt.edu">ofpeopleassignedwithyourinitialsbeforeyou@pitt.edu</a></p>

<p>For example...this new email numbering system started the year I started there...so I was </p>

<p><a href="mailto:initials6@pitt.edu">initials6@pitt.edu</a>; I was the sixth person with my initials given an email addresses under this system</p>

<p>Before this system it was...</p>

<p>yourinitialsst#ofpeoplewith <a href="mailto:same@pitt.edu">same@pitt.edu</a></p>

<p>the st stood for student</p>

<p>Here at UNC it is...</p>

<p><a href="mailto:whateveryouchoose@email.unc.edu">whateveryouchoose@email.unc.edu</a></p>

<p>However, some people have somehow changed it to...</p>

<p><a href="mailto:whateveryouchoose@unc.edu">whateveryouchoose@unc.edu</a></p>

<p>More people have the email.unc.edu domain though</p>

<p>Ours is normally first initial + last name/first 7 letters of last <a href="mailto:name@wellesley.edu">name@wellesley.edu</a>. If you have a common last name, it would be something like <a href="mailto:jdoe4@wellesley.edu">jdoe4@wellesley.edu</a>.</p>

<p><a href="mailto:firstinitialLastname@mail.csuchico.edu">firstinitialLastname@mail.csuchico.edu</a></p>

<p><a href="mailto:first3lettersoflastnamefirst5digitsofid@schoolname.edu">first3lettersoflastnamefirst5digitsofid@schoolname.edu</a>
but you alias it to <a href="mailto:Firstname.Lastname@schoolname.edu">Firstname.Lastname@schoolname.edu</a></p>

<p><a href="mailto:lastname.firstletteroffirstname@myschool.edu">lastname.firstletteroffirstname@myschool.edu</a></p>

<p>hmm...im wondering why this person is asking though?</p>

<p>Because it's interesting to see the different types of formats used at different schools?</p>

<p>first initial + first 8 letters of last name @ ucsc . edu</p>

<p>if it's taken there's some variation including middle initials and the like.
my last name's 8 letters, so it works perfectly for me.</p>

<p>until the year before i started students got to chose their address, now you have to pay like $15 to get it changed from the default</p>

<p>i was wondering, do you get to keep the college email account after you graduate?</p>
