E-Uni is often at war and there are some ships that are best flown on an [[Alternate_characters|alt]] to avoid the unnecessary risk. The same goes for visiting [[Trade Hubs]], these are often camped by both [http://www.eveuniversity.org/audio_classes/Disco%20Uncertainty%20-%20The%20Dark%20Side%20of%20Eve.mp3 gankers] and [[Corporation_diplomacy#Wars|war targets]], using an [[Moving_your_items|OOC Hauler]] and reading the advice for [[Hauling|Haulers]] can remove a lot that risk for just a little effort. Another thing that can help considerably is most campuses have access to the [[Hauling_Department|Hauling Service]] and also have a [[Buyback_Program|Buy-Back Program]], both of these things can make your life a lot simpler and avoid painfully expensive losses while trying to haul things to or from the market.

To help you with ship and modules the uni offers [[Corporation Hangars]] with a selection of free fitted ships at each campus. If you don't have access (it requires the [[Freshman]] title, you can just ask in campus chat for someone to retrieve a ship for you. Additionally, if you lose ships during a Uni combat fleet you may be entitled to use the [[Ship Replacement Program]] (see the SRP page for details of what ships are covered, as this may vary by campus, as well as what the entitlement criteria is).

==== Skills ====

As you [[Skills_and_learning#Training_skills|skill up]], its worth remembering that training skills to level 4 and 5 becomes increasing time consuming for only minor amounts of gain. The uni has two complementary sets of skills plans that will help you get a good foundation of general ship skills, these are the [[Magic 14]] and [[Short Skill Plan]] which you would be advised to follow before you start to specialise too much. In that same idea you can quickly cross-train to other races ships, tank and weapon systems, particularly at cruiser level and below, which opens up a lot more options when joining [[The_Rookie%27s_Guide_to_Fleet_Ops|fleet ops]]. Remember that the uni can offer you help will those starter skills with the [[Skillbook Program]] and the [[The +3 Implants Program]].

==== Communications ====

Aside from the In-Game [[EVE_University_Chat_Channels|Chat Channels]] E-Uni has a [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/ forum], an extensive [[Class Library]] and external [[Mumble]] and [[Discord]] servers for Out-of-Game communication.

Both fleets and [[classes]] will be announced in the [https://www.eveuniversity.org/events/ Calendar], as well as in the forum and on discord.

==== [[Highsec Campus|High Sec Campus]] (HSC) ====

Probably the place that most new players will start off. Provide an educational location where newcomers to EVE Online within EVE University can work together, learn, and flourish within a high sec environment, offering a wide range of actives supported by a knowledgeable community.

==== [[Project Solitude|Solitude Campus]] ====

Offering a similar mission to the HSC but in a more isolated part of space, requires players to be more motivated and self-sufficienct but without the continual threat of war targets. Solitude is situated in a High Sec island surrounded by low and null sec space, so please ask the locals for advise before you attempt to travel there.

==== [[Amarr Mining Campus|Mining Campus]] (AMC) ====

Primarily focused on mining, the campus will give you opportunity to learn how to mine efficiently and safely either solo or in a fleet, as well as guiding you on all aspects of industry. The AMC offers several programs to help with your mining and industrial career.

==== [[Low-Sec Campus|Low Sec Campus]] (LSC) ====

The LSC will teach you how to live and thrive in [[System_security#Low_security|Low Security]] space, with a primary focus on small gang and solo PvP using frigates, destroyers and cruisers, as well as teaching you how to finance your habit with things like [[Careers#Ratting|Ratting]] and [[Careers#Planetary_Interaction|Planetary Interaction]].

==== [[Nullsec Campus|Null Sec Campus]] (NSC) ====

The NSC gives students the experience of living in 0.0 space with all of the risks associated with it. They seek to do this by establishing and maintaining a supportive base within [[System_security#NPC_null_security_space|NPC Null Security] space, allowing members to learn how to survive in this harsh environment through practical PVP and PVE activities.

==== [[Wormhole Campus]] (WHC) ====

Unfortunately the WHC is not open to new or alpha players, as you need certain skills (including [[Cloaking]]) to be able to successfully survive there. However, there are regular [[Noob_Night_in_the_Hole_Ship_Fittings|Noob Night in the Hole]] (NNitH) events that will allow you to experience life in WHC without meeting all the requirements.

==== [[EVE_University_Incursion_Community|Incursion Community]] ====

This is not a fixed campus, but a nomadic group that follows the current high sec [[Incursions|incursion]] around [[New Eden]]. While everyone is welcome Incursions are considered high-end PvE content and as such generally require a more rounded set of skills that you will have at the start of your game, however there are a couple of low skilled roles available so just ask if you are interested.
