By a Former Student Who Wishes This Existed Back in My Day
Imagine going to school where the elevator is your school bus, your lunch break includes milk tea and movie trailers, and your campus is literally floating above one of Cebu’s biggest malls.
Welcome to National University Cebu—where education levels up (literally), because this school just took the phrase “higher learning” to brand-new heights.

🏙️ Wait… It’s on Top of SM City Cebu?!
Yes, you read that right. National University’s 14th campus—and the very first in the Queen City of the South—is perched on top of SM City Cebu like an academic penthouse.
From the 6th to the 9th floors of the mall’s new North Wing expansion, NU Cebu gives students a daily commute that ends in elevators, not exhaust fumes. And instead of being tucked away in some remote compound, it’s at the beating heart of everything: food, fun, fashion, and—yes—finals.
It’s not just a campus. It’s an urban university adventure.
🎒 Subjects, Starbucks, and School Spirit
At NU Cebu, your class schedule might look like this:
9:00 AM – Engineering Math
11:00 AM – Mall Dash for ramen
1:00 PM – Intro to Nursing
3:00 PM – Chill study session with frappe and free WiFi
6:00 PM – Watch your classmates dominate intramurals or post-tiktok dance collabs in the food court.
Programs offered include Architecture, Engineering, Dentistry, Nursing, Education, Business, IT, and more—so whether you want to build skyscrapers or decode DNA, there’s a place for you here.
💥 Sky-High Learning, Cebu-Style
NU Cebu is more than just a cool address—it’s a reimagined learning environment. Here’s why it works:
✅ Convenience – Missed breakfast? Pop into the mall bakery. ✅ Accessibility – Public transport, banks, coffee shops—all within arm’s reach. ✅ Modern Facilities – Sleek classrooms, high-tech labs, elevators with a view. ✅ Community Vibes – You’re not boxed into four walls. This campus breathes city life.
It’s like the Sims… but real. And with a diploma at the end.
🐾 The Bulldogs Are in Cebu Now
NU isn’t new to excellence. In Manila, they’re known for top-tier academics and their fierce UAAP Bulldogs. So what happens when you bring that same energy to Cebu?
Let’s just say… Cebuanos better get ready. There’s a new bark in town—and it comes with scholarship potential, student-athlete pride, and enough school spirit to fill an entire food court.
📚 Why It’s Not Just a Gimmick
Sure, having a university inside a mall is cool (ok, very cool). But here’s the deeper value: accessibility and innovation.
NU Cebu makes higher education:
Easier to reach
More affordable
More flexible for working students
More integrated into everyday life
You don’t have to choose between study and lifestyle. Here, they’re the same thing.
📍 A New Era of Education Has Just Been Unboxed
National University Cebu isn’t just a school—it’s a statement. A bold one. That learning should rise, adapt, and connect with the world students live in now.
So if you’re looking for a university where:
The classrooms are modern
The professors are passionate
And the mall is quite literally your playground
Then NU Cebu might just be the campus you never knew you needed.
