Education is never limited to just inside the classroom at the Martha Rivers Ingram Commons at Vanderbilt. The Ingram Commons and its 10 Houses are a set of living and learning communities. They bring together first year students, residential faculty, undergraduate resident advisers, professional staff, nonresidential faculty and undergraduates, as well as other resources inside and beyond the university to create educational experiences in which students learn from and with each other, their professors, and the accomplished career professionals found among the 22,000 employees of Vanderbilt University.
