APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY 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, tuition, and athletic and
Topics 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. If
a student shares a room with another student, and practices the strictest
economy, he may possibly reduce his expenses below the estimate.

Student Self-Help.— The University maintains a Bureau of Student Self-Help
for the benefit of students who wish to obtain remunerative employment
while pursuing their studies. Opportunities for employment are not
infrequent, but no new student should attempt to attend the University unless
he has sufficient private resources to defray at least half of the expenses
of his first session. After a student has arrived at the University, the Bureau
will make every effort to find suitable work for him, but no assurance of
employment can be given until after the student's arrival.

Students who desire the assistance of the Bureau are invited to apply for
information by addressing the Director, Box 1487, University, Virginia.

Loans will be provided for deserving students. See page 38.
