<p>When/How do we get our email addresses for next year???</p>
<p>haha great question. I want to get a facebook account and I want it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Not until the summer I've heard. July, I think.</p>
<p>I am not sure when we get them, but the format will be [initial of your first name][last name]<a href="mailto:10@amherst.edu">10@amherst.edu</a></p>
<p>so if your name was John Smith, your address would be <a href="mailto:jsmith10@amherst.edu">jsmith10@amherst.edu</a></p>
<p>or at least that's what I was told by a sophomore at school</p>
<p>If you look at this page:</p>
<p>you can see that it seems to be:</p>
<p>[first letter of first name][middleinitial][last name]@amherst.edu</p>
<p>although some are missing the middle initial.</p>
<p>"haha great question. I want to get a facebook account and I want it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"</p>
<p>HELLZ YES.</p>
<p>good and bad news, the good news is that we get the email addresses in an informational packet at the end of the month and we wont have to wait till july, the bad news is that we dont get them now and we have to wait till then to get facebook accounts</p>
<p>whaaaah! :) :)</p>
<p>that's pretty good. I could have sworn somebody told me that we wouldn't get them until the summer. Whatever, good for us.</p>
<p>bump, any info yet?</p>
<p>I made my facebook with the address that northwestern gives all its admitted students, but now it is going to expire soon as I have declined their offer for admission. I need my address so that I can transfer my facebook :)</p>
<p>All employers look up your Facebook account now before hiring. Don't do it, it's just another way for Big Brother to watch you.</p>
<p>Or just dont put bad things on your facebook :p</p>
<p>they can't possibly look up your facebook profile unless they have one under the same network (in this case Amherst)</p>
<p>I think you might be referring to myspace with the employers checking it, etc. I never got a myspace, but I want a facebook as I have heard almost everyone in Amherst has one (it was supposedly one of the "original" facebook schools), and it would be a nice way to see who is there, and also to see other people from the Amherst Class of 2010.</p>
<p>Employers have been known to pay college students to look up the Facebook accounts of their fellow classmates, though I doubt that is that much of a threat at Amherst College. Half of the people IN the town of Amherst don't know where Amherst College is.</p>
