Taking a Gap Year
There are many different reasons for choosing to take a gap year before university, these could include using the time to:
gain work experience to help you decide on a career and also maybe save some money for university in the process.
travel - this can give you the chance to experience parts of the world you have never seen before, and you would increase your skills in organising and taking care of yourself, and experience what it is like to be away from home (skills which you may need when you start university!).
do charity work or volunteering - this could be a fun experience, giving you the chance to give something back to society. It also counts towards your CV.
