Since most of the shared community colleges are abused, only approximate methods are provided below.

Method 2: Alumni Email#

Many universities provide alumni email addresses for graduates, mostly with the domain name "@alumni.xxx.edu". Although you may not enjoy many benefits, as long as you provide the required information, you can obtain an alumni email, which is still a major advantage.
Alumni information can usually be found in the official website's list or Wikipedia.
To apply for an alumni email, the key is whether the school has strict review. As long as the review is lenient, the application is usually approved.


Method 3: Self-built#

In general, the .edu domain name is reserved for educational and academic institutions, and individuals or commercial entities cannot register directly. This is because the use of .edu domain names is subject to strict restrictions and must meet the qualification standards of educational institutions. However, there are some special cases where individuals or commercial entities can obtain .edu domain names.
In this case, you can set up an email system on a server and use this domain name to obtain an edu email.
It should be noted that even if you obtain an EDU email through this method, you may not necessarily enjoy educational discounts.


Method 4: Purchase#

The easiest method is to directly purchase on websites such as Taobao. You only need to pay to get a valid EDU email account.
The advantage of this method is that you can almost enjoy all educational discounts, but the disadvantage is that it violates the usage policies and regulations of universities and may be considered illegal.
