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.
