    At our university, we give students a list of 6 possible usernames based on what’s available and which algorithm used to generate the name. Work pretty well, and sometimes people get really cool ones. They can change their username between their choices at will, again based on availability.

      Our University gives students a random 5-letter string, which works well enough. If you dislike it you can also request a firstname.lastname address.

      It’s always a treat if you spot a funny combination, they’re quite rare.
