<p>for current students, how useful is the email address you got from UT? does it serve any significant purpose (like communicating with teachers) and how often do you use it? i'm deciding whether it's worth the trouble getting one.</p>

<p>you should get one and just have it forward all of your e-mails to your current one. It is always worth it to get the UT e-mail address. It looks good for prospective jobs for them to know that you went/go to a prestigious university. As far as professors, I'm not sure, but I'd figure that it wouldn't make a difference. </p>

<p>Hey, the e-mail's free, what have you got to lose by getting one :)</p>

<p>haha true. a UT email completes the college feeling.</p>

4

<p>yea plus you can use it to join UT's facebook network! :)</p>

<p>Yeah I just set it up to forward any emails to my gmail address. I generally never use it for sending emails, but sometimes it is more official to give out your student email address with your name and school in the address. Not to mention that if your trying to get a job from a person who might be a UT alum, it can't hurt.</p>

<p>In order to get discount airfares from Student Universe, you need a college email address.</p>

<p>I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere on here before, but how do you go about getting a UT email address?</p>

<p>So we get to keep it after we graduate?</p>

11

<p>pretty sure</p>

12

<p>I don’t think so. A friend’s e-mail was cut off the day after graduation!</p>

13

<p>I don’t think we get to keep it either. I do think the McCombs students do though. I seem to remember reading that somewhere on the website. Just another example of how they get special treatment and the rest of us are stepchildren.</p>

<p>You get to keep your mail.utexas.edu e-mail address for about 9 months after graduation. I found the e-mail very convenient, because you needed it for many things on campus.</p>

<p>McCombs students have a different e-mail address with their class year.</p>

<p>haha, we’re stepchildren…</p>

<p>that’s kinda surprising, my dad got to keep his harvard e-mail address for years. why would UT not let us keep ours?</p>
