Gap Year
Some students decide to take a year off between high school and college to travel, volunteer, pursue an activity, or engage in some other meaningful experience. Harvard College supports, and in some cases, requires such a “gap year.”
Some resources that might be helpful in making this decision and/or identifying activities are:
- Gap Year information presented by Harvard students
- Harvard College Office of Admissions information on Taking Time Off
