Gap Year

What are your thoughts on this? Has anyone done it? What was your experience? Research seem to show it's beneficial, but it's not completely clear cut

I think a gap year would have been good for me, but I didn't have one.

I think people should just go straight to college & get it over with, unless you need to raise money or some other circumstance.

But, when your life is a fairytale & you've traveled the world & had all the benefits of being the 1% in this world, with all the privilege & support that comes with that...  I just don't get why a gap year would be beneficial.... so what, you can travel, find yourself... that is what summer is for.  So they can rest after being in the spotlight...  just don't get it.

I didn't even know what you were referring to until I read some of the responses here.  I personally think it is a terrible idea.It makes it harder to get into the mix once you start.
