 In the beginning, at least, the game is easier if you organize your activities to stay in one area of the map. To lessen the burden of excessive travel, E-UNI maintains a number of "campuses"—E-UNI offices in different solar systems—that are located in the same general region of the EVE galaxy. Each campus emphasizes a different aspect of the game. By joining one of these, you can have fun, learn the game, meet other players, and not have to travel long distances. Most new players should start at High Sec Campus (HSC) which is especially set up to give advice to beginners. (You can find the locations of the all the various campuses by clicking on the links that follow.)
-==== Official Campuses ====
+==== Official Communities ====
 Each of these has a chat channel, a Mumble channel, and a Standing Fleet that all members are invited to join. Read about the campuses in UniWiki by clicking the link; chose the one you want to join, and go there.
+''[[Main Community]]''
+[[File:E-UNI_Emblem.png|left|70px|clear]] The '''Main Community''' offers a range of activities including Mining, Missioning and PvP opportunities across High, Low and Null Sec stageing areas to provide EVE University students with the opportunity to learn in together and create both solo and fleet operations, in a friendly and supportive environment.
-''[[Hi Sec Campus|Hisec Campus]] (HSC)'' [[File:HSClogo.png|left|70px|clear]]: ''A place where beginners can learn basic skills and try out new things.'' In hisec space you are safe most of the time (except for War Targets), and most new members should start here. Access to combat fleets, asteroid belts, missions and everything else you need to get started are available at HSC. All new members are encouraged to join.
+There are no title or skill requirements to join the Main Community.
+''[[Incursion Community]]''
-''[[Averon Mining Campus]] (AMC)'' [[File:AMCtest.png|left|70px|clear]]: Large scale mining is conducted in organized fleets. AMC's location is secret, and it moves around to take advantage of ore deposits as well as to foil prospective bandits. AMC is for serious miners, and if you join, you should be planning to stay for a lengthy period of time. Contact them for more information.
+[[File:Incursionlogo.png|left|70px|clear]]The '''EVE University Incursion Community''' works together to introduce students and alumni to that area of the game, and runs sites as a cohesive group. The community primarily focuses on running short-ranged, stationary shield fleets in Vanguard sites, and has a doctrine that is very forgiving for lower skill-point and cheaper hulls often associated with E-UNI students. For more information, visit the [[EVE University Incursion Community]] page.
+While some roles in Incursions can be performed by players of all skill levels, please see their specific [[EVE University Incursion Community#Requirements|requirements]] listings.
-''[[Null-Sec Campus|Nullsec Campus]] (NSC)'' [[File:NSClogo3bubblesv1.png|left|70px|clear]]: ''A very dangerous environment that offers unique PVE and PVP encounters.'' NSC involves the most potential combat of the three "sec" campuses, and it's primary focus is on how to survive in nulsec's uniquely lawless environment. There are no entrance requirements, but fleet PVP combat experience is helpful.
+''[[Wormhole Community]] (WHC)''
+[[File:WHClogo.png|left|70px|clear]] The '''Wormhole Community''' focuses on living in [[wormholes|wormhole space]], and dedicated to educating students about [[Living in Wormhole Space|wormhole life]]. The WHC is currently based in J211936, a C2 wormhole with hisec and C3 static connections; giving easy access to known space for logistics, and to higher class w-space for PvP and PvE. Wormhole space is one of the most hostile - but also one of the most lucrative - areas of space in EVE. For more information, visit the [[Wormhole Community]] page.
+The [[Titles Within EVE University#Freshman|Freshman title]] and some basic skills and ships are required to join the Wormhole Community.
-''[[Wormhole Community]] (WHC)'' [[File:WHClogo.png|left|70px|clear]]: ''An advanced campus focused on life inside a wormhole.'' Because wormholes contain some of the game's most valuable loot, they are areas of intense conflict. Special skills are necessary for acceptance into this group. Freshman standing at E-UNI is required.
-==== Unofficial UnCampuses ====
-These provide unique experiences, generally for more advanced players, though only the Incursion Community has an entry requirement. They have chat and Mumble channels, but may not have a standing fleet. These are "practicum" campuses where you learn how to do something by doing it alongside E-UNI experts.
-''[[EVE University Incursion Community|Incursion Community]]'' [[File:Incursionlogo.png|left|70px|clear]]: "Incursions" are large PVE encounter events staged by the game in random systems. Incursion combat is very high level, but this group focuses on bringing less experienced players into the events. Contact them for more information.
