Sadly, I have committed Adam's sin of being a South Korean male, therefore I will be spending my 21 months in the army or marine corps.
As my country's great generous awesome MoD kindly allows their draftees to choose the day that they want to be drafted (or enslaved), I have concluded that taking 2 years off after my first year of uni would be the best.
So I can comeback, and choose if I will stay in England (if given with chance), or go to somewhere else after the graduation.
But is it generally possible to take 2 years off in the university if given with exceptional circumstances like this?
