As many high school graduates spend time this summer getting their new laptops and linens to take to college, others are getting their passports and heading off on a kind of sabbatical. A growing number of students are taking what they call a "gap year." It's a break from the academic grind and a chance to explore the real world.
What do you think of Gap years? Are you on one? What're you doing?

I love the idea of a gap year. I know people who biked across Europe, backpacked across Greece and even one guy who skateboarded in all 48 contiguous states.
I hope to take a year off between undergrad and grad school and go either the Middle East or India.
