REDUCED COST OF LIVING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA

The Administration of the Summer Quarter has taken advantage of every
opportunity possible to reduce the cost of living during the session in order to
meet the needs of those whose incomes have been lowered, and therefore, takes
pleasure in announcing very low rates for accommodation and board. Tuition
charges are lower than most other institutions of the same rank, and practically
all railroad and bus lines offer reduced rates, so that necessary costs are reduced
to a minimum and living is almost as cheap as at home. No student need be
prevented from attending the Summer Quarter because the expense exceeds that
in other institutions.

University Fees.—Registration and tuition fees vary for Virginia teachers,
students who are residents of Virginia but do not teach, and students and teachers
from other states. There are special fees for graduate courses, laboratory
courses, music, art, commercial, medical, etc., courses, for extra courses, which
are charged all students alike.

Fees for Virginia Teachers.—A registration fee of $10.00 is charged all
teachers from Virginia. Tuition is entirely free to Virginia teachers in all the
regular courses leading to certification.

The term "Virginia Teacher" means one whose last teaching was in Virginia.
It does not include one who lives in Virginia but teaches outside the state, or
who plans to teach but has not yet taught.

Women students from Virginia who are planning to teach but have not yet
taught, may secure a State Scholarship which entitles them to free tuition in
return for their pledge to teach two years in the public schools of Virginia. A
student applying for such a scholarship should have her application endorsed by
the Superintendent of the Division in which she lives.

Fees for Virginia Students.—A registration fee of $5.00 and a tuition
fee of $15.00 are charged residents of Virginia who do not teach or residents of
Virginia who teach out of the state.

Fees for Out-of-State Students.—A registration fee of $5.00 and a tuition
fee of $25.00 are charged residents from states other than Virginia.

Fees for All Students.—A medical fee of $0.75 is charged all students save
those local people who have their own physicians.

Three session-hours is the normal amount of work which a student may
carry. If special permission is given to carry more than three session-hours, a
fee of $5.00 is charged for the fourth hour.

There is a fee of $5.00 for each graduate hour. This fee is stated in the
description of the course.

There are laboratory and special fees for certain classes. In every case, the
amount of the fee is included in the description of the class.

Rooms and Board.—The Summer Quarter is making a special effort this
year to have as many of the students as possible live in the dormitories, thereby
creating a closer school spirit and more comfortable living while attending the
University of Virginia. Accommodations of various types can be found on the
campus. Descriptions of these accommodations follow:

The Halls. (For Women and Men).—These are the most comfortable, best
equipped and most modern rooming accommodations in the University or in the
city. The buildings are of three stories and of full fire-proof brick and cement
construction throughout. They provide one hundred and fifty-three apartments,
of living room and bed room with connecting bath, each suite intended to accommodate
two students. However, a double suite may be reserved for one
person only if desired. Each living room is furnished with a desk with drawers,
a table, steel waste-basket, two rocking chairs, and floor plugs for reading lamps.
Each bed room has two large built-in clothes closets with locks, and is furnished
with two single steel beds, two chiffoniers, and two straight chairs. All furniture
is of good quality. Bed rooms open to adjoining bath. Some of the baths are
shared by occupants of four suites and reservation should be made early to obtain
an apartment with only one other suite using the bath.

Venable, Gildersleeve, McGuffey, Harrison, Tucker, Holmes, Rogers, and
Peters Halls will be reserved for women students.

Smith and Davis Halls will be reserved for men students.

(For Married Couples without Children).—Basement apartments in the Halls
are reserved for married couples without children. Three of these apartments
have private baths and application should be made as early as possible for these.

Rental charge for the above suites is $2.50 each person per week or $15 for
the First Term and $12.50 for the Second Term. A double suite may be reserved
singly for $25 for the First Term and $20 for the Second Term.

Telephone service is provided for incoming long-distance or local messages
and for all outgoing messages pay-station telephones are located in several of
the Halls. Trunks and package 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 the room. These are stored
in dry racks located in the basement.

East Range and West Range. (For Men).—These consist of one-story
brick rooms, built in sections running the entire length of "The Ranges," and
opening into arcades.

All rooms are provided with running water.

These rooms rent for $12 for the first term each person, if two occupy a
room, or $15 if rented to one person. Rent for the second term is $10 per person,
if two occupy a room, or $12.50 if rented to one person.

East Lawn and West Lawn. (For Women).—These rooms were completely
renovated recently and are in excellent condition. They are double or
single rooms opening directly upon a colonnade. All are provided with running
water.

Rooms occupied by two persons will rent for $12 for the First Term and
$10 for the Second Term, per person. Single rooms will rent for $15 for the
First Term and $12.50 for the Second Term.

Regulations in the Dormitories.—Each Hall and the Lawns will have a
committee in charge selected by those rooming therein with the student hostess
as chairman (there will be a student hostess living in each Hall and on the
Lawns) and this committee will arrange for entertainment and recreation, and
enforce regulations made by those rooming in the buildings, subject to the rule
of the Administration.

The Administration of the Summer Quarter requires that women students
dismiss men guests and be in their rooms by 11:30 at night, except Saturday
night when they will be permitted company and leave until 12:30 without permission.
Permission for leave after this time may be obtained from the hostess
in charge of each Hall.
