The Ingram Commons at Vanderbilt University

The Martha Rivers Ingram Commons begins four transformative years of a Vanderbilt education.

First-year students live and learn together in the 10 Houses of The Ingram Commons – each guided by a Faculty Head of House, a professor and mentor who lives among the students of the House. Together they create the first of four transformative years at Vanderbilt where students are encouraged to develop and contribute their intellectual, social, ethical and personal talents to the fullest. Through The Ingram Commons first-year students connect with each other and the entire Vanderbilt community – the upper class undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff and administrators of one of the world’s great research universities.
