 WHAT DOES IT COST?
 During his first year at the University, it is estimated that the average
 student spends from $950 to $1200. Although this sum may seem large at first,
 the total amount is not so imposing when it is broken down int.) the individual
 expenditures.
 The first obligation of the new student is room rent, usually paid upon
receipt of his room assignment before the term begins. Rent varies from
$30.00 to $110.00 per semester for the residence halls. The average freshman's
room rent is approximately $85.00 per semester.
 Upon registration the student is expected to pay his registration fee, $75.00
per semester for Florida students. Non-Florida students pay $250.00 per sem-
ester, which includes tuition in addition to the fee charged Florida students.
 Books and supplies must be purchased before classes begin. The cost varies
from $20.00 to $40.00 a semester, depending on the courses taken.
 The largest item on the average student's budget is food, which may be
obtained at both on and off campus eating establishments. The University
Cafeteria, with four serving lines and a capacity of over 3,000 meals per
hour, prepares high quality food at reasonable prices. The Florida Room and
the Student Service Center are also popular eating places.
 Laundry and dry cleaning are another item on the student's budget. Each
freshman resident hall. is equipped with coin-operated washing and drying
machines and irons. Several Gainesville firms also will vie for laundry and
dry cleaning patronage; many of them have student representatives for con-
tact in the dorms. There is also a privately-owned laundry and dry cleaning
establishment in the Student Service Center.
 For those wishing a linen supply service, sheets, towels, and pillowcases
may be obtained from the Housing Service at approximately $7.50 per semes-
ter. This includes weekly change of linen.
 Male freshman and sophomore students required to enroll in ROTC must
advance a $20.00 deposit at the time of registration. At the end of the year,
if all equipment is returned in acceptable condition, the deposit is refunded.
 Although these are considered the most important items on the student's
budget, there may be many incidental expenses. Social events such as Fall
and Spring Frolics should also be considered.
 Although the figures quoted above are for the average budget, it is possible
to attend the University on less money in a satisfactory manner. Scholarships
and student employment are means whereby expenses may be cut down.
