EXPENSES OF REGULAR STUDENTS.
The average annual expenses of a student who pursues the
regular course in Engineering will be:
| Outside Students. |
Virginians. | |
| University Fee | $ 40 | $ 40 |
| Department Fee (average of four years) | 75 | 30 |
| Living Expenses (for nine months) | 225 | 225 |
| Books and Drawing Materials | 20 | 20 |
| Incidental Expenses (for nine months) | 45 | 45 |
| Total for average conditions | $405 | $360 |
The Department Fee is $90 for the Freshman Year, $80 for the
Sophomore, $70 for the Junior, $60 for the Senior, and averages $75. It
entitles the student to take over again without charge any single course
of the previous year on which he may have failed. But students who
fail on two or more courses of any year are required to take them
over and pay the full fee of that year.
The University Fee of $40 entitles the student to the free use
of the Library, Gymnasium, Shops, and Laboratories; to free medical
attention; to the services of the Instructor in Physical Culture; to
the facilities of the Hospital in case of need; and covers all fees for
the regular examinations, degrees, and diplomas.
The Living Expenses include board, lodging, fuel and lights, servant
and laundry; the average is $25 a month, minimum $18, and a
reasonable maximum $32. Books and Drawing Materials will cost
about $80 for the four year course. Incidental Expenses ought to be
kept within modest bounds; the above estimate is sufficient; large
allowances of pocket money promote idleness and attract companions
of the baser sort. No allowances are made for clothing or travelling
expenses, which vary too much to be introduced into any general
estimate.
The following are payable on entrance: University Fee ($40); Department
Fee ($90-60); Contingent Deposit ($10); Books and Instruments
($20); and one month's Living Expenses ($32-$18). The
student will need at entrance about $200.
In Mining and in Chemical Engineering there are additional
laboratory fees as noted below for the advanced courses in Analytical
and General Chemistry.
