Taking a gap year or a year off before starting university has become increasingly popular. Many high school graduates find that a year off gives them time to see the world outside of academics, allowing them to figure out their personal goals and career aspirations before deciding on a major.

However, taking a gap year can be risky. You must consider all factors before deciding if a gap year is the right move for you.

What are your goals?

Before taking a gap year, you must set some goals for yourself. What do you hope to achieve? You may be looking for real-world experience, want to travel, or need a break between the stressors of high school and college.

Whatever your hopes for the year, setting goals enables you to make the most of your time. A year goes by faster than you might expect.

What will you do during your gap year?

No two gap years will look the same. You can do almost anything during your gap year, from relaxing to embarking on a digital nomad adventure abroad to working an internship. 

It’s important to have a plan and clear expectations for your gap year. You want to be sure you maintain productivity, even though you’re not in school. Be sure to figure out what you want to do well before your gap year starts.

Gap year programs

Since gap years have become so popular, some colleges have created programs for students who want to take a year off. These programs may even offer college credits. 

Some college initiatives last an entire year, while others are just a few weeks or a semester. If you decide to go this route, consider whether you want to partake in a local or international program.

Financial considerations

Can you afford to take a gap year? If you plan to travel, you’ll need a way to fund it. Consider getting a part-time job or saving money beforehand. Even if you spend your time at home, you’ll still have expenses.

Academic transitions

Many students start college refreshed and focused after taking a gap year. Due to the year break, they can cope with deadlines and academic pressure.

Others have different experiences. They have trouble assimilating after being out of academia for a year. They may have trouble with procrastination, fitting in with other students, and attending classes.

What will you do after your gap year?

It’s a good idea to have a plan for what comes next. Will you go to college? Do you plan to get a job? You don’t have to know exactly what you’ll do next, but you should have a rough idea of future aspirations so you won’t miss out on application deadlines or job opportunities.

Parting thoughts

Deciding to take a gap year can benefit you and your future. As long as you consider costs, set clear goals, and have a plan, you can use your gap year to make your time at college more worthwhile.
