Board and Room H E M E N of the University of Illinois live in a variety of types of h o m e s : privately owned dormitories, fraternity houses, boarding houses, and privatehomes. The prices vary with the quality; the average is eight to twelve dollars a month. Cheaper rooms may be secured and more expensive places are available. It is never wise to rent rooms by mail. Board is also secured in a variety of places: some dormitories serve; fraternities serve their members; boarding houses and private homes offer meals. Many students eat at boarding clubs, restaurants, tea rooms, lunch rooms, and cafeterias. The average price is about $30 per month. The Y.M.C.A. has offered as one of its services the listing of rooms for men. The Independent Council, non-fraternity men's organization, maintains a room directory at the Student Center in the Union Building. It also publishes and distributes a useful room directory. There are three university residence halls which offer living accommodations for women students. T h e dining rooms are in charge of well-trained dietitians. Each hall is in charge of a chaperon. Prices range from $300 to $372 for the school year. Letters of inquiry and requests for room application blanks should be addressed to the Dean of W o m e n . Three cooperative houses are provided for girls who wish to economize on expenses. The girls plan a schedule of duties, each working approximately one hour a day. Application blanks are secured from the Dean of W o m e n ' s Office. Presbyterian Hall, McKinley Hall, and many private homes in Champaign and Urbana also furnish room and board for women students. Light housekeeping rooms are available. Room lists are furnished by the Office of the Dean of W o m e n . An undergraduate woman may live in any home which is approved by this office. Some girls work for room and board in private homes, and the Dean of W o m e n ' s Office helps students to find these positions.
