<p>How should you use your University E-mail Address? Is it just a way to communicate between your professors, the administration, and your peers, or is it something akin to a regular e-mail where you use it sign up for websites and fill out on forms?</p>
<p>You can use it however you want. I use it as my primary email, but I use my old one for junk email (like if I’m signing up for a website that I know will send excessive amounts of follow up emails, I’d rather not deal with that on a regular basis).</p>
<p>I use my college email account for personal communication, and I have a second email account that I use to sign up for websites and such. After three years in college, my inbox is still junk free :)</p>
<p>I use mine for university and professional-oriented things.</p>
<p>Watch out though, because I believe most schools expire them a few years after you graduate.</p>
<p>I use mine for communicating with professors, classmates, school friends, and job applications. I still have my old personal email for conversing with other people and signing up for stuff. The spam filters in my schools system aren’t as good as yahoo.</p>
<p>I plan on using mine for only university-oriented things since I think my school does expire them after graduation. For professional matters I have a gmail account that is simply my full name.</p>
<p>I have all mine forward to my Gmail, but with the option to send from my .edu email. I’d definitely use it for professional communications, looks much better than a gmail. But for most things I just use my gmail.</p>
<p>Pretty much for professors and stuff. I usually use my Gmail. I would probably use it for applying to internships and such as well.</p>
<p>Other than that I always use Gmail, much better online interface, it’s easily hooked up to my BlackBerry, everyone who emails me sends to my Gmail address.</p>
<p>I use mine for everything. It’s linked to my other account too, so I only have to check one. </p>
<p>Most of the reason I use it for everything though is because it’s powered by Gmail which is what I was previously using.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I don’t think I’d use it near as much if it weren’t Gmail-based now 
</p>
<p>I only really used mine for school and job-hunting. You can use it for whatever you want though.</p>
<p>I use it for everything just because it’s just simpler for me to have to only handle one email account</p>
