Gap year programs are designed for students who have just finished high school and are planning to enter college. They allow students to defer to college for one year while living in another country through a structured program. Students in gap year programs enjoy many benefits: they learn new languages, meet new people, gain valuable experience, explore different career options, and earn college credit. At the end of the day, gap year programs allow students to take a year out of school to explore, consider, examine and think all while enjoying meaningful, structured, international experience.
The world is a lovely place, and you’re ready to explore it. Yet you don’t want to lose sight of going to school; you’re interested in going to college, and you want to do something that will improve your college applications and resume, but you need some time to enjoy an adventure, especially in another exciting country. Gap year programs allow you to enjoy meaningful international travel while at the same time enhancing your college application and, in some cases, earning college credits. Most importantly, they will allow you to enrich your life and satisfy your itch for a meaningful and fulfilling adventure.
You may have made a few “mistakes” in high school and have less than a stellar academic record; or you may have a good academic record but need to boost that to get to the University of your Choice; either way, participating in a gap year program can provide a great opportunity to boost your resume and college application. Colleges and universities love to know that students can cope with adversity, diversity, pressure, and challenge. Gap year programs can help you prove to the colleges and universities of your choice that you have many of the qualities that they’re looking for. Plus, depending on the program, gap year programs can allow you to add language skills, community service work and college credit to your repertoire of good quality.
Give yourself a break and do something nice for yourself that will enrich your life and give you some time to reflect. Gap Year programs are great options for people who need some time to think about where they’ve been, what they’re doing, and where they’re going. Plus, the gap year programs allow you to gain meaningful experience so that if and when you decide to go to college, you’re prepared.
