Totally dependant on your situation...
- I’m not taking a gap year, I have found a course which I love and I’m super excited to be going to uni.
- My boyfriend is, he has had a massive change of heart with what course to study so is going to reapply next year and get some work experience and travelling done in the mean time.
- I have friends who are taking one as they are going on 6 month volunteer programmes abroad
- If you are unsure with what you want to do at uni then take one, because there’s no point wasting 3 years on a course you don’t want to do
- If you do take one make it worthwhile and don’t spend all your time sat at home, travel, learn a language, volunteer, get a job etc
