Should High School Graduates Take A College Gap Year?

Should High School Graduates Take College A Gap Year?

In the coming weeks – more than 2 million high school seniors who had their sights set on College for the Fall will navigate a decision — NO graduation class has ever had to consider. 

Universities across the nation are considering a range of contingency plans to combat the Coronavirus as campuses transition to online courses for the new school year. 

AND—as I stated last week for college students studying at home amid COVID-19 – like ME – college isn’t what it used to be. 

However – it costs just the same! 

As on-campus experiences are being replaced with online courses – it's complete bullshit for universities to charge students FULL TUITION without the full experience! 

Why should families pay full price for a semester that might be cut short –AGAIN!? 

Studies conducted by the Gap Year Association show that among students who defer their college admission to take a gap year have a 90% return rate within a year. 

Also – students that take a Gap Year are more likely than their peers to graduate on time—AND with better grades! 

Cal State Fullerton, Stanford and Boston University have openly disclosed the possibility of canceling in person classes until 2021. 

If Michael Jordan can take a GAP YEAR from Basketball to focus on himself — YOU CAN TOO!
