Is a Gap Year Helpful?
It’s long been a discussion between parents and students, “Is a Gap Year Helpful?” Students who are recently graduated often advocate for a Gap Year by explaining that they are “tired of school” and “need a break”, or express that “they aren’t sure what they want to do next, so what’s the point” or that they “need to travel”. There may be some truth to these sentiments as many students move on to University and aren’t feeling motivated, excited or ready. Often money is wasted as students drop or withdraw from courses and feel a sense of being unsure or lost.

How Dual Credit Learning Benefits Students. Julia’s story
Many students experience nervousness on their first day of university, entering an unfamiliar chapter with a courseload unlike any they’ve encountered before. Numerous peers have shared stories of high anxiety and feeling unprepared during their initial days of post-secondary education. However, my experience was different. In high school, the prospect of post-secondary education made me very nervous, and I was uncertain about my future after graduation. This changed when I was offered the opportunity to enroll in a psychology dual-credit course. To this day, I appreciate being immersed in post-secondary education with the support of familiar high school staff.
