A gap year is a break from study or work which usually lasts three months to one year.
People of all ages take gap years, many young people in the UK tend to take a gap year
prior to or following college or university.
A gap year can include a period of change from living in your home country, to traveling
the world undertaking work, volunteering or just exploring. In the UK a gap year when
leaving school and before entering higher education is a now a very popular transitional
choice.
