<p>They will assign you one, but if you want you may contact them and have it changed. For people with shorter last names, your netID will simply be</p>
<p>[first letter of first name][last name]</p>
<p>For those with longer last names, your last name may be cut off. For those with common names -- say, Jane Doe -- they will give you an ID something like:</p>
<p>jdoetwo
jdoethree</p>
<p>Your initial password will be something random, but you can change your password.</p>
<p>anonymous, so, i assume then that you have a facebook? care to share that link? that is the ULTIMATE proof. you can't forge a facebook.</p>
<p>that would really suck in my case
c************@princeton.edu
that will be the length of my name, plus it's hella complicated to spell, even for Romanians!!! that's why i never use my name in my e-mail adresses!</p>
<p>yeah Revan, that would be fun. But tunanfish said they shorten long surnames so... I wonder what the maximum # of characters you can have in your email address is...</p>
<p>maybe they'll have [first two letters of first name][last name]@princeton.edu</p>
<p>Checking the netID of a friend of mine with a long last name, it seems to be [initial of first name][first seven letters of last name]@princeton.edu.</p>
<p>If it's the same as someone else, I think that it's [initial of first name][first six letters of last name][numeral order (e.g. 1,2,3)]@princeton.edu, so 8 seems to be the limit.</p>
<p>Yeah. I think 8 is the limit, which is what I've seen so far...</p>
<p>I guess we now all know our email addresses! Anonymous - you are no longer the only one. meh meh :D .</p>
<p>I don't :( The first letter of my sister's name is the same as mine and surprise surprise, we also share the same last name :(</p>
<p>then you'll be #2 =)</p>
<p>that would be so pro</p>
<p>an @princeton.edu email... damn nice!</p>
<p>not true i know people with [last name]@princeton.edu and [firstname][first initial of last name]@princeton.edu</p>
<p>it varies, so u dunno what ur gonna get</p>
<p>and i do not have a facebook (perhaps thats a hint as to how i got my email)</p>
<p>the first option is always</p>
<p>[first initial][last name]@princeton</p>
<p>from there, it varies if people have the same names. but that is always the first option. majority of emails are that format.</p>
<p>mine is [first initial][last name]@princeton.edu</p>
<p>if you have a legit princeton e-mail, you could easily get a facebook... did you do one of those things where you can make your own e-mail address with whatever ending you want?</p>
<p>my email isnt authorized for facebook. (another hint; hurry up and figure out how i got it already =)</p>
<p>You were a summer Princeton employee.</p>

<p>Alright! :p</p>
<p>So Anon, tell us the best features of our future email - does it have any special aspects like extra storage space, inter-campus messaging, a filing system like gmail's? What are the perks of an @princeton.edu email?</p>
