Live More on campus

Creating friendships and memories that will carry you through life is a key part of the post-secondary experience.

That’s why NAITSA is dedicated to creating opportunities for students to get involved and socialize through events, clubs, an on-campus bar, volunteer and part-time employment opportunities, and more!

Student News - NAIT Nugget

Started as a platform to give NAIT students a voice, The Nugget has been educating and entertaining students with hyperlocal news for over 50 years. We publish 6 print issues a year (September to April) with content continually uploaded on our website and social media year-round.

Campus Bar - Nest Eatery
The Nest opened on NAIT’s main campus in 1988, a result of the hard work of three partners: NAITSA, the NAIT Board of Governors, and the Alberta Government. Since then, it’s been the best place on campus for students, instructors, and staff to make friends, make memories, watch the game, and enjoy great food and drinks.
