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)	175	113
Living Expenses (for nine months)	370	370
Books and Drawing Materials	30	30
Incidental Expenses (for nine months)	60	60
Total annual for average conditions	$675	$593

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 Freshman from Virginia $85 and all other Virginia
students $55 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 $9.50 per week, the minimum $7.50, and a reasonable
maximum $11.50. 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.
