It may be a bit fearsome to consider, but taking a year off after high school or during your college career can be a huge benefit for students.

Holly Bull was a student who did just that and she now counsels students on how they too can do the same, effectively, as President of the Center for Interim Programs. More than just "taking a break," Holly tells us how this year (or even just a semester) spent away from the formal college environment can help students be more prepared to enter college or a career.

And our question of the day is closely related to this topic, as we will be answering the challenge of what to do if you're undecided and college application deadlines begin to loom.
