And what if they’re done with education? With the current climate of the world, many students are wondering if their student life will be altered and if they will experience everything in university that they wanted to experience, and with the student grants being demolished in 2015 many students are sceptical as to if university is the right path for them. The idea of taking a gap year has becoming increasingly popular as years have gone past so this coming September many students may decide to take a gap year and go travelling instead of heading straight to university.
