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 $110 and all other Virginia students
$60 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. A fee of $5 each
for the year's course in Engineering Geology and in Mineralogy is charged.
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.
