: Interesting. I know here at my school many professors do not see your questions/concerns through email as legit unless they are sent through a school source (school e-mail); they are afraid they are spam. Most young kids create immature and embarrassing e-mail names ("stud", "hot", "baby"). In this case, they (probably) will create a new one when they start college if the school doesn't give them one. I know Google runs our school e-mail now and it great. I just can't imagine eliminating the school e-mail addresses altogether verification reasons.

: the move makes sense for the institution and the students. my first university created an account for me without giving me permission to forward mail. i already had an account and it was a hassle to check my uni address just in case. i imagine that in the future, we may all be assigned an address at birth in the same way that tax file/social security/id numbers are assigned in some countries today. that may make life easier. of course if we don't use email anymore maybe some sort of cyber-id that can generate an automatic presence in any system such as facebook, utterli, twitter or whatever
