RESIDENCE HALLS AND OTHER LIVING
ACCOMMODATIONS

The purpose of this Bulletin is to call the attention of prospective Summer
Session students to the advantages offered to the students who reside
in the accommodations provided by the University.

The University realizes that it is difficult to make social contacts in a
short summer term and for this purpose maintains a social program under
the direction of a general hostess at Madison Hall, whose aim is to promote
friendships with students and provide opportunity for recreational
activities for both men and women. Therefore, those students who live in
the dormitories of the University can have as much social life as they
desire.

1. Students living in the University dormitories are given excellent
accommodations at the lowest possible cost.

2. Meals may be obtained at cost at the University Commons, which is
not operated for profit. Last session the charge was $33.00 for the term
of six weeks and $27.75 for the second term.

3. Students are convenient to the Library, classrooms and Clark Hall,
where lectures are held during the Institute of Public Affairs.

4. Opportunity to act as host or hostess is given from time to time to
those who are interested.

5. It is possible to go to one's rooms between classes and rest or study
as all classrooms are nearby. Students living in the Halls have private
living rooms where guests may be received.

6. Deck tennis and croquet courts are provided on the grounds.

7. Each dormitory has a student host or hostess and student government
is maintained.

8. Rogers and Peters Halls are reserved for graduate students.

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
fireproof brick and cement construction throughout. They provide one
hundred and fifty-three apartments, of living room and bedroom 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 wastebasket,
two rocking chairs, and floor plugs for reading lamps. Each bedroom
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. Bedrooms 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.

Long, Mallet, 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.

The rental rates are $15.00 each student for the first term and $12.50
for the second term for a double suite with one window in bedroom;
$18.00 each person for the first term and $15.00 for the second term for
a double suite with two windows in bedroom; $25.00 for the first term
for a single suite and $20.00 for the second term for a single suite.

Telephone service is provided for incoming long-distance or local messages
and for 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 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 $12.00 for the First Term
and $10.00 for the Second Term, per person. Single rooms will rent for
$15.00 for the First Term and $12.50 for the Second Term.

EAST RANGE and WEST RANGE (for Men) 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 $12.00 for the First Term each person, if two
occupy a room, or $15.00 if rented to one person. Rent for the Second
Term is $10.00 per person, if two occupy a room, or $12.50 if rented to
one person.

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 guests and leave until 12:30
without permission. Permission for leave after this time may be obtained
from the hostess in charge of each Hall.

Each student who makes a reservation in the dormitory should read
very carefully the information given below:

1. Applications for rooms in the dormitories must be accompanied by a
retaining fee of $1.00 per person, the remainder to be paid on arrival at
the University to the Secretary, Peabody Hall.

2. Keys for the rooms will be available at the Summer Quarter Office.
One dollar deposit is required for keys to the Halls and a twenty-five cent
deposit for all keys to Ranges, and refund will be made only when key is
returned by person paying deposit. Each student should be prepared to
pay in full for the room in order to secure his or her room key. It is preferable
that a check be sent in advance so that the student may have a receipt
to present for the key. Checks should be made payable to the University
of Virginia and sent to the Secretary of the Summer Quarter. Box 1337.
University Station, Charlottesville, Virginia.

3. Rooms will be ready for occupancy June 18th, noon.

4. If a room is not claimed by the first day of instruction, and no notice
has been received by the Secretary, the reservation will be canceled and
the room rented to another person.

5. The right to occupy a room is not transferable, so that it is not possible
for any student to hold a room for another person. If the occupant's
name does not appear on the room book at the office of the Summer Quarter
no reservation is considered.

6. Individual preferences in regard to roommates will be complied
with, when possible, and for this reason we urge that the name of roommate
and his or her address be given when application for reservation is
made. If this information is not given the Secretary will assign some one
to fill the vacancy. This is important in the event you wish to select your
roommate. There will be a charge of fifty cents for any person desiring
to change an original assignment.

7. Each occupant of a dormitory room must provide pillow, linens and
whatever rugs or curtains may be desired. Cooking is not allowed in the
dormitory. The University has a very limited number of pillows which
may be rented, but students are requested to bring their own if possible.

8. Mail should be addressed to the room number with the name of the
dormitory and it will be delivered in mail receptacles in the hallway for
ordinary incoming mail. Registered and nsured mail for the Halls will be
delivered to the Manager's Office, Venable Basement, and a notice sent to
the addressee.

9. Students who wish to remain for the Second Term of the Summer
Quarter should sign up for the rooms at the Summer Quarter Office.
Those who wish to occupy the same room for both terms should make
reservation before July 15th. After this date reservations will be considered
in order of application.

10. Refund for retaining fee sent in prior to opening of session will not
be made if request is received after June 12th. No refund will be allowed
for key, pillow or bulb for the First Term if returned to the office after
noon, Saturday, July 31st, and no refund will be allowed for the Second
Term unless key, pillow or bulb is returned by noon, September 4th. Each
student must call in person for refund.

11. Students must vacate rooms reserved for the First Term only by
noon, Saturday, July 31st, and the second term students must vacate not
later than noon, Saturday, September 4th.

Social Activities.—There will be a general hostess at Madison Hall
whose first duty is to make the students feel at home and to promote social
life among the students. She will arrange dances, serve tea on Sunday
afternoons, organize bikes and picnics, and games on the lawn.

Excursions. — One of the most attractive features of the Summer
Quarter are the trips to nearby points of interest and beauty. If a sufficient
number sign up for the trips there will be excursions to Monticello;
to Natural Bridge, the battlefields in Virginia, the Endless Caverns and
the Grottoes and other points of interest.

An ideal approach to Charlottesville is provided through the beautiful
Shenandoah National Park over the newly completed Skyline Drive.
Visitors should complete the Skyline Drive by seeing Monticello, the beautiful
home of Thomas Jefferson (now a National Shrine), and Ash Lawn,
the home of James Monroe, each open to the public daily. Arrangements
may be made through the Office of the Summer Quarter for bus trips over
the Skyline Drive at a nominal charge. The trip is made over the short
but scenic Spotswood Trail, the route of the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe,
to the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

APPROXIMATE SUMMARY OF NECESSARY
EXPENSES

The figures in the following table may be taken as a fairly accurate
approximation of necessary expenses for a session of six weeks. Necessary
expenses are reckoned as University and tuition fees, laboratory fees,
lodging and board. If a student shares a room with another student, and
practices the strictest economy, he may possibly reduce his expenses below
the estimate.

               

	Virginia Teachers		Non-Virginians
	First Term	Second Term	First Term	Second Term
Registration Fee	$ 15.00	$ 15.00	$ 5.00	$ 5.00
Tuition Fee	[1]	[1]	30.00	30.00
Medical Fee	0.75	0.75	0.75	0.75
Room, Light, Furniture and Service	12.00-18.00	10.00-15.00	12.00-18.00	10.00-15.00
Board	31.50-42.00	26.50-35.00	31.50-42.00	26.50-35.00
Total for terms of six weeks and five weeks	$59.25-75.75	$52.25-65.75	$79.25-95.75	$72.25-85.75

BOARD AT THE COMMONS

The University Commons, operated by the University, is under the
management of Dr. E. A. Kincaid of the McIntire School of Commerce.
All meals are prepared by an experienced chef under the supervision of a
trained dietitian. Only the best materials are purchased and meals are
prepared under the most sanitary conditions, thus assuring substantial,
wholesome and appetizing food. Moreover, the Commons is not operated
for profit. Hence it is possible to offer students a lower rate than can be
had elsewhere.

Board of the first term of six weeks will probably not exceed $35.00,
and for the second term of five weeks a proportionate charge will prevail.

Inasmuch as the accommodations of the Commons are quite limited, it
is desirable for those who plan to attend the Summer Quarter to make
reservations in advance, thus assuring meals of high quality at a low cost
in a charming room in the coolest building on the campus. The location
is convenient for both classrooms and dormitories.

Private Lodging and Boarding Houses. — There are a number of
lodging and boarding houses situated off the campus. All houses accommodating
summer students must be on our approved list. A list will be
sent upon application.

The Secretary of the Summer Quarter has listed also furnished apartments
for housekeeping and houses which rent for reasonable rates during
the summer months for those who wish to bring their families. A
blang will be sent upon request for fuller information.
