Did You Know?
The Oregon-based Gap Year Association
notes that the exact number
of students who take a gap year between
high school and college is unknown.
However, an overwhelming majority of
students who have taken a gap year reported
positive experiences. In a collaborative
survey with the Institute for Survey
Research at Temple University, the GYA
Research Committee found that 92 percent
of gap year alumni reported gaining life
experiences and experiencing personal
growth during their year away from formal
schooling. Forty-four percent of respondents
indicated they used a gap year
to explore career options, while 41 percent
indicated they learned a new language
during their gap year.
