After thirteen years of school, students just want to get out and experience the world at large. They are finally of an age where they can be on their own and so many take a gap year off studies to get out and about before buckling back down again to their academic lifestyle. Instead of taking that year off your studies, have you thought about attending university abroad?

Another factor is passion and inclination. I, for one, would rather deal with pumpkins and chicken meat than ... Continue Reading...
