With the opening of The Ingram Commons (2008), Moore College (2014), Warren College (2014), E. Bronson Ingram College (2018), Nicholas S. Zeppos College (2020), Rothschild College (2022), and Oliver C. Carmichael College (2024), the university is primed to further expand this key component of the undergraduate residential experience.<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center;
