There are so many answers to why people desire to have a edu email address.

I desired one because they are rare and available only to students and even though I'm a student, I didn't had it until last week.

* Students also get software licenses for cheap. :)

Step to get your own edu email:

• Open https://eims.maricopa.edu/MAW/MAW.html. ( Powered by Google )
• Start filling in details on registration form.
• You can use www.fakenamegenerator.com for creating fake SSN (Social Security Number) and Phone number.
• Choose a very strong password ( a combination of letters, numbers and special characters ). Remember it or write it down somewhere secure.
• Complete registration.
• Once completed, you'll obtain a studentID, edu email address ( studentID@maricopa.edu).
• Wait for 30 minutes for account activation.
•  Goto http://mail.google.com/a/maricopa.edu and login with your newly created email ID and the password you chose during registration.

Yay ! Now I have one and hopefully you have one too.

Tip by a commenter:  If account activation is taking too much time, just try to reset your password.
