University of Virginia Library

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 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. If a student
shares a room with another student, and practices the strictest economy,
he may possibly reduce his expenses 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 a considerable part of 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.
