EXPENSES OF REGULAR STUDENTS.

The average annual expense of a student who pursues the regular course in
Engineering will be:

             
NonVirginians  Virginians 
University Fee  $ 40  $ 20 
Tuition and Laboratory Fees (average)  200  125 
Living Expenses (for nine months)  400  400 
Books and Drawing Materials  30  30 
Incidental Expenses (for nine months)  60  60 
Total annual for average conditions  $730  $635 

The charges for Tuition are uniform to all students, except that Virginians
are relieved of tuition on courses offered in the College, this exception
saving regular Freshmen from Virginia $100 and all other Virginia
students $65 each year in comparison with non-Virginians.

The laboratory charges are $15 per class for the year's course in Physics,
and $20 per class for a year's course in Chemistry. A deposit for breakage
of $5 is required for each laboratory course in Chemistry. The fee for
each practice course in the Engineering Department, Drawing, Engineering
Laboratories, and Shop-work is $5 per term for each course. The fees for
Field-work and Bridge Drafting are each $10 per term per course. These
fees include all charges for laboratory materials; but the student is held further
responsible for breakage.

The living Expenses include board, lodging, fuel and lights, servant and
laundry; the average is $10.00 per week, the minimum $7.50, and a reasonable
maximum $12.50. Books and Drawing Materials will cost about $120
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 included for clothing and travel, the expenses for which vary
too much to be introduced into any general estimate.

The charges payable on entrance are the University Fee, and the Tuition
and Laboratory Fees.
