University of Virginia Library

EXPENSES.

The charges common to all classes of students, if two occupy the
same room, are as follows:

               

Matriculation and library fee,	$25 00
Room-rent,	15 00
Contingent deposit,	10 00
Infirmary fee,	7 50
Fuel and lights, about	25 00
Board, including diet, room furniture and servants' attendance,	180 00
Washing, $1 50 per month—per session,	13 50
	$276 00

The tuition fees of Academic students attending three schools
(the usual number attended in one session) amount to $75; of Law
students to $80; of students of Civil Engineering to $90; and of
Medical students to $110. Adding tuition fees to the above estimate
of common expenses ($276) gives the aggregate of the necessary
expenses of students, exclusive of text-books, clothing and
pocket-money, as follows:

       

Academic students,	$351
Law students,	356
Engineering students,	366
Medical students,	386

There is a specific scale of tuition fees for the students of Analytical,
Industrial and Agricultural Chemistry.

For the Lecture course, on the applications of Chemistry to the
Arts, the fee is $25, as in other schools.

For the first Laboratory class $50, and an additional charge of
$10 for Laboratory material consumed.

For the second Laboratory class $100, and a charge of $25 for
Laboratory material consumed.

For the third Laboratory class (special course for Medical students)
$20, and a charge of $5 for Laboratory material consumed.

Each Laboratory student, in whatever course of instruction, will
be required to furnish himself with the more common and generally
necessary articles of apparatus. The cost of a suitable set need not
exceed $15.

All the foregoing items are payable in advance, except board and
washing. One-third ($60) of the board is required on admission,
and the balance in equal instalments at three and six months thereafter.
Washing is paid for monthly, as the service is rendered.

The contingent deposit is designed to cover any assessments that
may be made against the student during the session for violation of
the rules of the library, damage to books, room, &c. The residue,
less these assessments, which are generally small, and may be nothing,
is refunded to the student on the settlement of his account at
the close of the session.

There is a well-appointed Infirmary connected with the University,
for the care and comfort of sick students. Every student, on admission,
deposits the Infirmary fee ($7 50), which entitles him, in case
of sickness during the session, to the advice and attention of the
Infirmary physicians (Professors in the Medical Department), and,
if necessary, nursing by professional nurses, without additional
charge.

There are three large boarding-houses within the precincts of the
University, and several outside, but in the immediate vicinity. At
these nearly all the students find accommodations, and at charges
essentially the same. A few find accommodations in private families,
mostly with near relatives or intimate friends. A few also, for
the sake of economy, mess together and board themselves.

With the exception of a deduction of 20 per cent. in the tuition
fees in favor of those who enter after the 1st of January, no abatement
is made in the matriculation and tuition fees and room-rent on
account of late entrance, and no portion of the same is refunded on
account of withdrawal before the close of the session—unless the
withdrawal be rendered necessary by ill health, and occur before the
1st of March. The charges for board, fuel, lights, and washing, are
estimated from the time of entrance. Many disadvantages to the
student result from late entrance; therefore, prompt attendance at
the beginning of the session is earnestly enjoined upon all who wish
to derive the full benefits of the courses of instruction.
