The flipside of this rule is that if you ''can'' afford to lose a ship, you should feel free to take risks with it in the cause of having fun. It is best to think of ships as being a bit like ammunition.

[[Wartime Operations in EVE University|EVE University is often at war]] which means that, for players working in highsec space, there are some ships that are best flown on an [[Alternate characters|Alt]] to avoid being killed. At war, [[Trade hubs]] often harbour hostile [[Corporation diplomacy#Wars|war targets]]. Use an [[Moving your items|OOC Hauler]] and read about [[Hauling]] to reduce the risk of being killed. You should also consider using the EVE University [[Hauling Department|Hauling Service]] and the [[Buyback]].

To help you with ships and modules EVE University offers [[Corporation Hangars]] with a selection of free fitted ships at each campus. If you don't have the [[Freshman]] title, ask someone who has to get a ship for you. If you lose a ship during a EVE University combat fleet you will usually be entitled to use the [[Ship Replacement Program]].

Instead pick a frigate (the [[Frigate#Exploration|exploration]] frigates, the [[Heron]], [[Imicus]], [[Probe]] and [[Magnate]], are good choices as they have large cargo holds), or even a shuttle (ideal for safe travel to nullsec).

You can move your existing assets to the nearest [[Trade hubs|trade hub]] and sell them, if you want to. If the Uni is at [[war]], try and do all this before accepting the invite to join. Alternatively, if you are near [http://eveuni.org/haulingservice one of the stations covered by the University's Sponsored Shipping Service] anyway, you can haul your stuff to that station and then use the University shipping service to have it taken to any of the major locations in the Main Community.
