Here at Life University (Life U), we understand that the educational landscape is constantly in flux, and we make an intentional effort to support the success of all our students, even if they choose to take a less traditional path to their educational journey. One growing deviation from the commonly recognized conduit of completing high school and then immediately enrolling in college is the concept of a gap year. According to Life U’s Fall 2024 Fact Book, our average undergraduate age is 22 years old, so it is fair to assume that some portion of our population is familiar with the practice.
