This, 100%. Just about every university in the US has a policy that all official school business must be communicated through your institutional email address- be it a question about the class or setting up an appointment for office hours. Most of my instructors have explicitly told us they will ignore any emails not sent from an @uni.edu email.
On a different note, how many schools set up a different email address structure for students versus faculty/staff? For my community college, students were [email protected] and at my current uni students are [email protected]. Is this standard practice?
