Business + Education
Equipping you with the tools you need to succeed.
Starting University
So, you're starting university, or you know someone who is. As a first year law student, let me impart some of my wisdom. If you're living away from home, particularly for the first time, you're going to want to personalise your accommodation. Whether you're living in halls or any other type of shared residence, personal touches will help you settle in quickly and make you feel a little less homesick. Bring photos of loved ones, pets, your favourite celebs. Whatever floats your boat. Bring your own bed sheets, your favourite pillow, a soft toy. The sooner you start to make your room yours, the sooner it becomes your home. At first your room will seem cold and bare, but once you've unpacked it'll seem much more inviting.

While most income is taxable, there are some sources of funds that are not considered income as such, and you may not have to include income from these sources on your tax return as taxable income.
