Second gap year?

I started at LSE this year but midway through first term decided I wanted to do a gap year so suspended my studies - due to Covid I haven't had a "proper" gap year. I have the option of either starting again at the beginning of next academic year or taking a full year out and starting in 2021. Do you think starting Uni at 20 will make it awkward socialising with people 2 years younger and do you think the negatives of taking another year out outweigh the uncertainties of starting in Sept 2020.

Take as long as you need. people wont care or know about 2 years unless you make an issue of it. Very generous of LSE to let you.
