University of Virginia Library

APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF ALL EXPENSES.

The figures in the following tables may be taken as fairly accurate approximations
of all necessary expenses for a session of nine months. As necessary
expenses are reckoned here university and tuition fees, laboratory fees, lodging,
board, laundry, and books, but not clothing, traveling expenses, or pocket money.
For each department three estimates are given—a low, an average, and a liberal
estimate. The difference in the three depends on the difference of expenditure
for board, lodging, books, and laundry—in other words, on the scale of living
of the individual student. By sharing a room with another student, and by
practicing the strictest economy, a student's expenses may possibly be reduced
below the low estimate.

Student Self-Help.—Every possible opportunity for obtaining remunerative
employment is afforded to students who are desirous of helping by this
means to pay their way through the University, and it may be safely stated
that any student with sufficient resources to carry him through the first half
of the session, can be reasonably sure of obtaining work which will pay his
living expenses and university charges for the remainder of the academic
year. While it is difficult for any student to be assured of remunerative work
before he reaches the University, information as to such employment may be
had from the Secretary of the Committee on Student Self-Help, Madison Hall.
