Now more than ever, the spread of coronavirus has made students across the country and around the world consider taking a gap year or gap semester after high school or in the very midst of their college career. But long before the pandemic came around, Morgan and Nikhil became well acquainted with this untraditional, yet increasingly popular approach to education. After Nikhil took a gap semester during his freshman year at University of Notre Dame and Morgan took a gap year immediately after graduating high school, they learned a thing or two about the process.
In this episode, we cut straight to the chase to make you aware of the things you MUST consider before committing to your decision. Everything from the logistics of requesting a gap year, to retaining your financial aid, to making the most of your gap semester, to avoiding common pitfalls associated with gap year students, this episode covers it all.
