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 12/12/2014 2:04:21 AM |

If having that address is a cause of concern because of how people might perceive it, it is time to grow up. 12/12/2014 4:20:56 AM |

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, 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 12/12/2014 10:45:22 AM |

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. 12/12/2014 3:37:59 PM |

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 |

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. 8/9/2017 1:02:37 PM |
