Follow on Google News | Gap Year planning site launched - targeted at U.S. students, their parents and advisers.PlanetGapYear.com is a U.S. based site where students, and parents, are encouraged to share their Gap Year Stories to inspire other students and parents to plan productive time out before or during college.
By: Planet Gap Year Planet Gap Year's Founder, Paul Mahon, is an outspoken advocate of U.S students taking a year out before college to gain maturity, independence, and a broader world view. The skyrocketing cost of a college education in the U.S., combined with the fact that many 17-18 year olds are just not ready for college, has resulted in more students deferring college entrance. Increasingly, these motivated and industrious students work, volunteer, intern, study, learn a language, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. The benefits of a productive and well-planned year out are being touted by many college admissions offices across the country, as the best method to prepare incoming freshman for success in college and career. A former financial aid counselor at Colorado State University, you can read more about him and the Co-Founder, on the site's About Us page. Website: www.planetgapyear.com End
