A Campus Built for Belonging

From your first day on campus, you’re placed at the center of a community designed to help you succeed both academically and personally.

Every first-year student lives on the Martha Rivers Ingram Commons, a dedicated residential campus where 10 faculty-led houses bring students together around shared experiences, traditions and a genuine sense of home.

After the first year, students can join a residential college living-learning community or move into a traditional residence hall. Wherever you live on campus, the culture of collaboration and community comes with you.
