How can you get a edu Email?
In order to get a ".edu" email address, one must have an affiliation with a university or institution that has a ".edu" domain. This may mean one is an alum, student, staff member, etc. Then, one must register with their institution to get their email address. So, work hard in high-school, and then get into an impressive college with an impressive domain name and rock the email as hard as you can.
