The Nest Healthy Learning Center

A Haven for Working Adults

If you’re like most NU students, you’re an ANDer: a working adult balancing family and job responsibilities in addition to your studies. That’s why National University has worked for over 50 years to develop flexible programs and innovative learning options that help you fit your education and career goals into a busy life. Now we’re introducing your newest NU resource: The Nest Healthy Learning Center.

The Ultimate Resource Space

The Nest is a dynamic new physical space designed to provide you with personalized services and support. It’s a convenient, welcoming environment staffed with friendly, knowledgeable NU professionals. Located in key locations within reach of public transportation, The Nest is a haven for studying, meeting with fellow students, or receiving academic or enrollment assistance. It’s an inclusive gathering place that connects you with:

  • Academic Resources
  • Childcare by Toby Wells YMCA
  • Financial Planning and Aid
  • Career Services
  • Tutoring
  • Veteran Services
  • Mental Health Support
  • Wi-Fi and Loaner Laptops

Three Amenities In One

The Nest at NU’s Spectrum Campus is also home to three exciting training, support, and technology spaces:

The Harmony Family Clubhouse provides additional support to NU faculty, staff, students, families, and the broader community through innovative programming, access to comprehensive resources, essential services, and events—all designed to foster collaboration, communication and community-wide well-being.

A welcoming space where active military, Veterans, and their families can get assistance with transitioning out of the military or advancing their education during or after service. Center staff can help maximize your tuition benefits, offer academic guidance, and share information on available resources, emotional assistance, and peer support.

A specialist lab for those with a strong interest in education, engineering, and healthcare, the Studio offers 3D printers, anatomy models, microscopes, and other emerging technologies for learners interested in the latest tools for study and research.

The Nest Healthy Learning Center provides a great new way to engage with the NU community and experience our services, support, and people firsthand. Drop in and take advantage of everything it has to offer!
