I cannot recommend this corp enough. I have learned more about Eve in the few short months since I have joined them than I would have imagined possible.

Do you want to beat the learning curve this game offers? These folks can and more importantly will help.

EVE University has provided a unique learning opportunity, one that I can easily and heartily recommend to any player, be they new or even a little old. The most important thing I see that the Uni offers is its lively social atmosphere and an eager willingness to assist each other with any situation. We take care of each other, and there are many of us... As a stepping-stone to the rest of your EVE life, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better foundation for building upon.

EVE University is a corp with a a vast amount of knowledge and practical opportunities for new players to sink their teeth into. The corp has lots of experienced members who are able and willing to answer questions, no matter how silly the question may be! I have learnt a good deal in the short time I have been with the uni, most of which would have taken many months to learn, had I not had the uni. Also, the fleets and events you take part in and the people that you play with will teach you valuable skills that you can take beyond the uni in the future.

EVE Uni has the knowledge, the facuilities, the social environment. You have the choice.

Let's cut the faffy stuff.

As an ex-Unista and an EVE University senior recruiter I could not hold a corp in higher esteem.

E-Uni is an excellent place for new pilots (and older pilots with new things to learn) to get a grip on the game.
Alumni of E-Uni are all over the place, and owe their abilities to this corp. If you are looking for a starter corp, look no further.

I love the EVE University. I first played the game about 2 years ago and only lasted about a month. The clunky interface, the depth of things to do, the lack of help in the NPC starter corp, all led me into confusion and frustration. Several months ago I decided to try the game again and found out about the Uni. Without a doubt joining was the best decision I could have made. The people are friendly and eager to help new players. No question is too dumb to ask and everyone will do their best to help you understand a concept. In addition all the wiki entries, classes, and the forums opened a whole new world of the game to me. Thank you EVE University! Big smile

My character is 5 years old but it wasn't until I joined E-Uni 3 months ago that I began to actually learn, understand and enjoy EVE Online. If, like me, you really want to play EVE but you can't seem to penetrate its hard shell and get to the good stuff in the middle, you can do much worse than join Eve University. Three months into my studentship and there is still so much more that the Uni can give and teach me before I set off on my own. I highly recommend a stint in Eve Uni if you find yourself lost in big, bad New Eden.

Like some others, I had drifted through this game trying to figure things out on my own. But that didn't always work well and was slow.

When I joined E-UNI, my entire EVE experience changed radically. It's amazing. I made myself take classes and try things even if I was sure it wasn't for me. Some of the least interesting sounding activities became my favorites.

I'm constantly learning and growing which makes me enjoy the game more.

Well you might be thinking about eve university as a place to go with you new eve character. Well your looking in the right place. It does not mater what skill path you want to take, the University is a great resource for you. How do I know this? Let me tell you of my experience.

I got into the game due to some friends that came from World of Warcraft. I was a bit late leaving WoW, and pulled some very dumb moves. Including lagging out a node in a starter zone with the use of a burst ecm. After a talk the corp decide that would be best if, I joined a training corp to learn about the game. I was the classic nOOb,

I applied to EVE University and was in the Q for about a month. Good thing to as this allowed me to repair my security status. With the help of a GM that felt sorry for me. I spent that time skilling up as a miner.

I get in. One day later we are war decked. I find out about the war time standard operating procurers, and about how to setup the overview. I transport my stuff out of my old home to aldrat. That was when I started to get an idea that I would like this place. When I went into old mining system in an industrial. I saw a post UNI scout in system dock up posted by worst can flipper in system.

Once I get back to Aldrat, inquire if that normal and am told yes. They also tell me to join the first fleet of the war if I want to see why, It turned out with the low skills I had a was just able to fly an e-war cruiser. So I join the first fleet and OMG it 108 people. We move through the local low sec everyone runs away. After an hour into fleet, we receive in local an invite to fight at an asteroid belt. Our fleet commander warps us in. Violating rule one of UNI tactics: Fight only on your own terms I later learn. Well the fight was going well for our side until we got hot dropped by three or four capital ships plus support. As e-war I died in seconds it was glorious, plus the University replaced my ship.

My focus switched to becoming the best e-war pilot possible. Less than a week later I was no longer mining for isk. I had discovered missions. One month after that I did my first wormhole fleet in my drake. I discovered exploration and needed another account to train the skills on. During this time my main had started doing level four missions to the point I needed a way to haul the salvage to market. I redirected the skill path of my explorer to include hauling. I finished training him this last month and transferred him to my main account. He now has his own hauling corp, has both a block-aid runner and freighter. My main is still doing missions for isk, has planetary interaction on three worlds. I am now looking at different pvp aspects, incursions, and manufactoring. Not bad for miner that took a 5.2 security status hit for lighting off a burst ecm in high sec 8 months ago.

So yes, The Uni is great place to learn almost everything.

I've been a Unista since I first joined the game. Best choice ever. I've learn so much and I still continue to attend classes and looking at new options to make ISK or spent my time. With a great Wiki, devoted teachers and a freindly environement, I cannot recommend this corporation more for new players and older players who are looking to learn new things as well.

If you want to learn how to play this game, joining the Uni is a requirement not an option. I'd not have learned how to armor/shield tank my Dramiel if not for the Uni (jk).

I can recommend E-UNI both to new players as well as expierienced players looking to move on to new challenges.

If you want to learn the game, E-UNI is definitely the place to be

If it wasn't for the university, I'd probably have quit the game after the trial ended. This main thing is that the game's learning curve is so steep that you would need a personal touch to help you along. The classes are the BEST thing in the university because they let you learn SO much and there are practicals too, which let you test out some stuff, and not just reading about it somewhere, its totally different. The teaching staff are excellent and will guide you 1-on-1 if you are a bit slow in picking up the techniques to survive in EVE.

Highly recommend!!! Fly Safe o7

Are you new to EVE, or perhaps you've been around a bit and are somewhat frustrated? Looking to learn? Then perhaps EVE University is for you.

I bumbled around a couple of months in New Eden when I decided to apply. Best decision ever. I now have contacts and friends like you wouldn't believe and I'm learning more and more about EVE.

What's it like? Well our learning evironment is designed for you to have fun, and to not be afraid of making mistakes and yet protect you (except from yourself... Pirate) from many of the dangers that can frustrate newer players. We even have programs such as our Skillbook Replacement Program, Purchase and Build Your Own Ship programs, a ship replacement program, modules, ammo, T1 frigate hulls, and the best is it's okay that you go out a lose some of it.

We teach many subjects and have many guest lecturers. We've had CCP staff and the legendary Chribba come in and teach.

Is it perfect? No. Is it for everyone? No. It is, however, a fantastic place to learn and get one up on the learning curve. There are even those who hang around our public channel and help. We have some interesting characters join us there too, and impart knowledge on some controversial subjects. We also have many that simply learn from being in the channel and using our public resources such as our wiki, the recorded classes, and even some video's.

And rumour has it that this weekend (September 10 and 11, 2011) there will be a "Queue Smasher" event where many of the Personnel Officers (recruiters) and other staff will be on to conduct interviews and really smash the infamous queue so I'm thinking it may be a good time to apply and get into the queue. How do you apply? I'm glad you asked. You can begin your application process here.

Who knows, maybe you'll get me as your interviewer Big smile

E-Uni has been a great community for me to learn the game - and meet some fantastic people. If you are a new pilot I can't think of a better place to be to start your Eve journey.

Eve uni is a sportive, structured, supportive corporation were you can learn the basics of the game or compeet on the higher lvl of what eve is about. Eve university is by far the best corp and probably the most respected corp in the entire game.

You will fit in as long as you apply by the rules.Cool

Eve Uni gives you an excellent grounding in Eve.

It gives you the knowledge and experience to develop into a character that would be an asset to any corp you chose to join in future, while having fun at the same time! There's always someone else on happy to mission, mine or PVP with you!

If you ever have a question, or need help, there is always someone there.

Great community not only for learning but also for a chat in a friendly and relaxing environment. Not to mention the huge boost to every new player in terms of ISK and other "material" gains.

It's an excellent introduction to Eve if you're new..and even if you're not new it's a place where your skills and knowledge can be put to good use for less experienced players.

Very sociable and fun. You won't find a much better place to expand your enjoyment of the game with us!

If you are new to the wonder of Eve or even a few months old and unsure of what your destiny is and where it will take you.....

Eve University is the only choice.

We will take the most nervous capsuleer and turn them into the Gods they should be.

The skills you will learn are only a start. You will learn the value of teamwork and that knowledge truly is power. More importantly you learn in a environment where no question is stupid, help is always available and confident that should harm befall you, the Uni-Blob (tm) will have your back!

Become the best of you. Join E-Uni.
