<p>So, I got a packet in the mail today that gave directions to, among other things, activate my uni and email address. I did what it said to, but the website told me that I didn’t provide sufficient information, or something like that. Is it just too early, still, to access my account, or is it just being weird?</p>
<p>Nevermind, it’s still too early. I answered my own question. Sorry.</p>
<p>In the mail? I haven’t got mine yet ;).</p>
<p>I guess it takes a while before we’re in the systems.</p>
<p>Okay, I got mine. You’ll probably have to wait until June as they said in the thingy.</p>
<p>You guys might now have to wait that long. I’m a 2010’er, and when I just looked at my cubmail, the oldest email was from May 23rd. And I don’t know if I sent/received emails the first day I had cubmail. So it might be sooner than you think. All I really used cubmail for over the summer was having a cool-looking ivy league email address for job apps, and facebook and dogears.</p>
<p>Yep. And you get a lot of discounts when you use that email at places like Dell.</p>
<p>I really dislike Dell, what about Asus though?</p>
<p>I don’t think they have any discounts for students because they mostly do their sales through resellers. You might find them from the resellers.</p>
<p>my friend from penn told me that when he visited, their campus computer store/center gave him a better deal on a mac than apple was offering him w/education discount. does columbia have anything similar?</p>
<p>I believe they do but you need a uni id to access that area of their store. It’s only a guess so you’ll have to ask someone who’s already at Columbia for sure.</p>
<p>all you have to do to get your email is:
- go to columbia.edu
- in the upper-righthand corner of the page, type in your name and search ‘people’
- your name should come up in the directory
- your email is right there and everything before the @columbia.edu is your uni
- go to uni.columbia.edu and activate new account. and fill out the info</p>
<p>and magic! email.</p>
<p>To all the int. students: You will need to wait for your temp ID, until then you’ll have to continue to suffer, :(</p>
<p>Non international students, TRY YOUR EMAILS NOW!</p>
<p>Most non-internationals have their emails by now. <em>cries</em></p>
