I have one.

Does anyone else here have one?

Thoughts about encountering someone who has one of these e-mail addresses?

i.e., douchey, too collegiate? silly?

THink: Hi, I am john doe. You can reach me at john.doe@alumni.ncsu.edu

feedback appreciated

If having that address is a cause of concern because of how people might perceive it, it is time to grow up.

too many dots

mine is still just @ncsu.edu

i graduated almost 2 years ago and still use it. i think since ncsu moved over to gmail hosting, you can just keep using that now.

i figure for stuff i don't want sent to my work email, @ncsu.edu looks better (maybe more professional) than @gmail.com or whatever else.

i wouldn't consider @alumni.ncsu.edu silly or douchey or anything

my @ncsu.edu address also still works and I graduated years ago

i don't think an alumni email address is douchey, especially if you are networking and stuff

12/12/2014 8:59:15 AM

i have one, but i just about never use it

12/12/2014 9:07:31 AM

same. have one, don't use it.

12/12/2014 9:51:58 AM

i have one, as well as an @ncsu.edu account

i was told you have to log in via the web (not just apps) at least once every 6 months to keep your unity email address active...no idea if that's true, but they clearly allow students to keep them after graduation, now

I dropped out but I still use an alumni address

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

^^ not true. I havent logged in in probably 2 years and my @ncsu.edu account is still working.

Graduated in 2004. I have one and most times it is OK, however sometimes emails don't come through or I have had to email them a few times when I get notified that emails bounce. You get what you pay for....or in this case you don't pay anything and it works most of the time.

my main account is still @ncsu.edu

I'd actually like to get an alumni account - how do you do that?

I feel like with the simple @ncsu.edu account I find myself explaining that it's an "alumni" account in certain situations.

not to mention my @ncsu.edu account gets spammed like crazy since I've used it so long. no matter how much I filter or unsubscribe, I still get like 10 a day.

I still have my regulard at ncsu.edu ....sometimes they phase you out, sometimes you don't. I think just going on the ncsu alumni page and being a legit member you can sign up?

12/12/2014 11:06:35 PM

it was a nice one to throw out in professional settings

gnsp....

8/7/2017 10:31:38 PM

i had one too. rarely used it, but it was nice to have in the back pocket.

8/8/2017 12:07:40 PM

^ for educational software licenses?

8/8/2017 12:17:57 PM

yeah that a prominent use case

8/8/2017 4:31:44 PM

Never used. I agree, it's douchey.

8/8/2017 9:34:27 PM

My husband had one and used it all of one time for the aforementioned student licensing that required an edu email address. Otherwise, it's been useless.
