<p>I’m just curious to see how every college forms their email addresses.</p>
<p>Kenyon’s format is last name, first initial @ Kenyon, or <a href=“mailto:doej@kenyon.edu”>doej@kenyon.edu</a>,
while friends at other schools have addresses more like <a href=“mailto:john.b.doe@mascotmail.schoolname.edu”>john.b.doe@mascotmail.schoolname.edu</a> which I think is ridiculous and overly complicated.</p>
<p>What about your school?</p>
<p><a href=“mailto:firstname.lastname@mail.schoolname.countrysuffix”>firstname.lastname@mail.schoolname.countrysuffix</a></p>
<p>This board lacks text editing options…</p>
<p><a href=“mailto:initials+number@collegeName.edu”>initials+number@collegeName.edu</a>
or
<a href=“mailto:firstName.middleInitial.lastName.numberIfDuplicate@collegeName.edu”>firstName.middleInitial.lastName.numberIfDuplicate@collegeName.edu</a></p>
<p>Uncheck the “Automatically parse links in text” to post a longer address.</p>
<p>some schools allow students to pick their own but recommend comment formats like first initial-last <a href=“mailto:name@school.edu”>name@school.edu</a>
other schools use the last name followed by a portion of your student ID</p>
<p><a href=“mailto:firstname.lastname@students.olin.edu”>firstname.lastname@students.olin.edu</a></p>
<p><a href=“mailto:whatever-you-happen-to-choose@mit.edu”>whatever-you-happen-to-choose@mit.edu</a> :)</p>
<p><a href=“mailto:anything-you-want@u.washington.edu”>anything-you-want@u.washington.edu</a></p>
<p><a href=“mailto:firstinitiallastname@macalester.edu”>firstinitiallastname@macalester.edu</a>
unless its already taken, then its
<a href=“mailto:firstinitialmiddleinitiallastname@macalester.edu”>firstinitialmiddleinitiallastname@macalester.edu</a></p>
<p>initials+random3digit#@collegeinitials.edu</p>
<p>At my school it’s last name, first and middle initial(in most cases although not in mines) .schoolname.edu</p>
<p>Mine is first initial then last part of last name. Mine doesn’t have a number, but some people do have one at the end.</p>
<p><a href=“mailto:FirstInitialPartOfLastName@utk.edu”>FirstInitialPartOfLastName@utk.edu</a></p>
<p>part of last name + random letters and numbers @ school . edu</p>
<p><a href=“mailto:lastname.firstinitial@nameofschool.edu”>lastname.firstinitial@nameofschool.edu</a></p>
<p>whatever<em>you</em><a href=“mailto:want@ucla.edu”>want@ucla.edu</a></p>
<p><a href=“mailto:lastnamefirstinitalmiddleinital@servername.schoolname.edu”>lastnamefirstinitalmiddleinital@servername.schoolname.edu</a>
People with long last names (like mine) have letters cut off so the whole string is 10 characters, and people with common names have numbers in theirs.</p>
<p>[Edit: There is not a space between the n and the a, it’s just formating oddly]</p>
<p><a href=“mailto:firstname.lastname@oberlin.edu”>firstname.lastname@oberlin.edu</a></p>
<p>for undergrad
<a href=“mailto:anything@berkeley.edu”>anything@berkeley.edu</a>
<a href=“mailto:2nd-permanent-email@berkeley.edu”>2nd-permanent-email@berkeley.edu</a></p>
<p>for grad
<a href=“mailto:anything@dept.berkeley.edu”>anything@dept.berkeley.edu</a>; eg. <a href=“mailto:johndoe@math.berkeley.edu”>johndoe@math.berkeley.edu</a></p>
<p><a href=“mailto:firstinitial7lettersoflastname@ucsd.edu”>firstinitial7lettersoflastname@ucsd.edu</a>. BUT you can alias it to anything you want, for example, <a href=“mailto:zoolander@ucsd.edu”>zoolander@ucsd.edu</a>.</p>
<p>we were issued:
<a href=“mailto:first.middle.last@student.college.edu”>first.middle.last@student.college.edu</a></p>
<p>but I soon found out that others work:
<a href=“mailto:first.last@student.college.edu”>first.last@student.college.edu</a>
<a href=“mailto:first.middleinitial.last@student.college.edu”>first.middleinitial.last@student.college.edu</a>
student#@student.college.edu</p>
