APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY EXPENSES.

The figures in the following table 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. 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 low estimate.
