Do we get to keep our bths email accounts forever? or only until we graduate?
"...But more important than resources to use and places to live is the realization that a species whose DNA resides on only one planet is destined to become extinct. Exploration of the space frontier is ultimately about survival of the human species. If the dinosaurs had explored space, if they had colonized other planets, they would still be alive today." - Donald Pettit

I don't have a definite answer, but it's likely we'll only keep our BTHS email accounts during our Tech years. If every student's account was kept in working order, the amount of email accounts that would need to be monitored would grow by a thousand every year.

Yes because Tech's Alumni Association will contact you via your BTHS Emails for reunions, homecomings, and anniversary events.

But if they were going to keep our accounts wouldn't it cost a fortune? "$50 per user per year".

Just like any other organization be it public or private large or small, you would NOT be keeping the email account for ever. Soon after you leave any organization all your ties with that organization are pretty much severed or cut.
Unless you are being kept as an outside consultant or at some level or capacity with that organization you can bet that all accounts will be removed or inactivated for good. For security reasons a lot of organization will only inactivated or remove it from access but prefer to keep the account for a few years as a precaution and security issues.

You can ask your school officials to confirm this.

Good Luck..
