AdvertisementAdvertisementA gap semester is a semester-long period in which a student takes a break from their studies to pursue personal interests — whether that be an internship, travel, or time at home with family.
In 2020, 23% of Yale students took a semester off — most likely because of the pandemic, but I've noticed the trend continue.

Taking a gap semester isn't for everyone; I have friends who can't wait to get out of college and into the real world.
