<p>A question while we're waiting for the forms to start inundating us:p</p>
<p>For our princeton email address, do they:
a) send us a prefixed email address
b) send a list of email addresses that we must choose from or
c) send an instruction sheet on how to create a "<a href="mailto:someone@princeton.edu">someone@princeton.edu</a>" email on our own?</p>
<p>i dont know! <--- why do i post then?... humm.... :p</p>
<p>But what i do know is that a girl a few years ago got [family name]@p instead of [first letter of given name][family name]@p</p>
<p>aaaa? wha' d'you say about that? <em>accomplice wink</em></p>
<p>yes its usually</p>
<p>first letter + last name @princeton.edu</p>
<p>they dont let u choose im pretty sure</p>
<p>they send you an email address that is usually [first letter of given name][last name]@ but if you have a common name, then there are different ones. but you dont get to choose</p>
<p>I've heard of [first initial][middle initial][last name]@ even though there's no one else there with the same first name and last name.</p>
<p>they only throw in middle initial if people have the same name.</p>
<p>I wonder who sits and comes up with all those email addresses and variations :p (it's probably automated right? gotcha.)</p>
<p>i know i won't get a first initial +last name...cuz it's already taken. i'll probably get first name+ last initial</p>
<p>So students basically have no say in what their email address will look like? What if it turns out funny like Maria M. Ilky - <a href="mailto:milky@princeton.edu">milky@princeton.edu</a></p>
<p>haha lucky you. but i already have one. =P</p>
<p>(yes i am an '09 =P =P)</p>
<p>How Do You Have One?!!!! Tell Us Tell Us! I Want One Too!!! :(</p>
<p>illl neeever tellllllll!</p>
<p>because i bet you don't actually</p>
<p>I don't have a middle name so no middle initial. My sisters initials are the same and her email is [first initial][last name]@princeton.edu....I wonder what I'll get...I would have liked hers, it looks nice :(</p>
<p>how can i prove it, would you like me to describe what princeton.edu looks like after logging in so that you can see that i was right after you get your netID?</p>
<p>well at the top, it says SunTM ONE Messenger Express, followed by tabs for folders, inbox, sent, trash, drafts, addresses, and options in that order. the page background is dark gray, with light gray for the active tab window. underneath is ur email address + the tab heading you are currently under, shall i continue?</p>
<p>(yes i intend to make you all envious)</p>
<p>gah! <em>jealous!</em> we need a current pton person to verify this</p>
<p>i wanna know how u got one!</p>
<p>lets just say i have "connections" ;)</p>
<p>:( i feel so un-connected. lol. that's ok i'll just be patient. patience is a virtue, right?</p>
<p>anonymous why don't you post a screenie :)</p>
<p>And yes, patience is virtue...I'm waiting :)</p>
