University of Virginia Library

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, tuition, and athletic 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 estimate.

Student Self-Help.—The University maintains a Bureau of Student Self-Help
for the benefit of students who wish to obtain remunerative employment
while pursuing their studies. Opportunities for employment are not infrequent,
but no new student should attempt to attend the University unless he has sufficient
private resources to defray at least half of the expenses of his first session. After
a student has arrived at the University, the Bureau will make every effort to find
suitable work for him, but no assurance of employment can be given until after
the student's arrival.

Students who desire the assistance of the Bureau are invited to apply for
information by addressing the Director, Box 707, University, Virginia.

Loans will be provided for deserving students. See page 35.
