BOARD AND LODGING

The University Dormitories

The dormitories of the University of Virginia consist of The Halls, East
Lawn and West Lawn, East Range and West Range and Dawson's Row.

Hot water heat and electric light are furnished throughout the dormitories.

Each occupant of a dormitory room must provide a pillow, pillow cases,
single sheets, blankets, towels, etc., and whatever rugs, curtains, etc., he may
desire.

Description and Rates

The Halls.—The most comfortable, best-equipped, and most modern rooming
accommodations in the University or in the city are to be found in the
new University dormitories, erected in 1929. This group of eight buildings
stands on the crest of the slope west of Monroe Hill, with an outlook on the
Ragged Mountains and the range of the Blue Ridge, and is within less than
three minutes walking distance from the gymnasium, the academic, engineering
and law class-rooms, and the University Commons.

These eight buildings are divided into twelve separate units, known as
Halls, each with its individual entrance, and each bearing the name of some professor,
distinguished in the history of the University. The buildings are of three
stories and of full fire-proof brick and cement construction throughout. They
provide one hundred and fifty-three two-room apartments, of living-room and
bedroom, each apartment intended to accommodate two students.

All of the rooms are approximately fifteen feet square. Each living-room
has an open fire-place and is furnished with a desk with drawers, a table with
drawer, a steel waste-basket, two rocking-chairs, two straight chairs and floorplugs
for reading lamps. Each bedroom has two large built-in clothes closets,
and is furnished with two single steel beds, two chiffoniers, and two straight
chairs. All furniture is new, of excellent quality and attractive design, the bedsprings
and mattresses of especially high grade.

There is an average of one bathroom to every five students. The bathrooms,
each equipped with showers and an individual built-in steel locker and a
medicine chest with mirror for each student using it, are so placed that every
bed-room, with one sole exception, opens directly into a bath.

Telephone service is provided in each Hall. Trunks and packing cases will
not be permitted in the apartments of The Halls dormitories. They must be
delivered to the trunk room in each Hall from which the student will remove
the contents to his room. Trunks and packing cases will be stored in dry racks
located in the basement. Each apartment will ordinarily be occupied by two
students. The rental for the nine months of the regular session is $150 per student
(or $300 for each apartment).

East Lawn and West Lawn are of one-story brick construction. They contain
thirty-eight rooms, each approximately twelve feet square, located between
the pavilions and opening into colonnades running the entire length of "The Lawn."
The rental of twenty-seven of the rooms, for the session, is $125 for one occupant
or $170 for two occupants. The remaining nine rooms, called Bachelors' Row,
rent for $115 for one occupant, or $160 for two occupants. These rooms are reserved
for applicants for senior degrees.

East Range and West Range consist of forty-six one-story brick rooms,
approximately twelve feet square, built in sections running the entire length of
"The Ranges," and opening into arcades. In addition, there are two two-story
brick houses called the Old Gymnasium and the Club House, containing fourteen
rooms, approximately fifteen feet square. The rental of the rooms on the Ranges,
for the session, is $125 for one occupant or $170 for two. The rooms in the
Old Gymnasium and the Club House rent for $80 for one occupant or $110 for
two.

Dawson's Row consists of a series of five eight-room and one ten-room two-story
brick houses, and a six-room one-story brick house, located on the southwest
side of the grounds. The rooms are approximately fifteen feet square. The
rental of fifty-one of the rooms, for the session, is $95 for one occupant or $130
for two. Five of the rooms rent for $60 for one occupant or $80 for two.

All of the rooms on the Lawns and Ranges and in Dawson's Row are provided
with running cold water. For each of the Lawns and Ranges one bathhouse
is provided and there is a bath-house in Dawson's Row.

The furnishing of the rooms on the Lawns and Ranges and in Dawson's Row
is as follows: For one occupant—an enamelled iron bed with comfortable
springs and mattress, a chiffonier, a table, a straight chair and a rocking-chair.
For two occupants—two single beds or one double-deck bed with springs and mattresses,
one chiffonier, one desk or two tables, one rocking-chair and two straight
chairs.

Board

Meals may be obtained at the University Commons, which is a handsome building
overlooking the McIntire Theatre and situated within two minutes' walk of
any of the dormitories. The interior of the main dining-room is panelled, and
the walls contain portraits of a number of distinguished alumni and officers of the
University. The furnishings are attractive. The capacity of the Commons is
three hundred. Board is furnished at cost and in no case will exceed $35 per
month.

Other Accommodations

In addition to the University Dormitories and the Commons, there are private
lodging and boarding houses situated near the University, and a number
of restaurants are nearby. A list of these will be furnished upon application.

Occupants of the dormitories may take their meals either at the Commons
or elsewhere.

All inquiries concerning rooms or board should be addressed to The Bursar,
University, Virginia.

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 1487, University, Virginia.

Loans will be provided for deserving students. See page 171.
