Some students choose to not enter the university immediately after finish their high school degree, they take a year before apply to their colleges for labor or travelling. this can alienate a student from his high school friends, at the same time, his new university mates from the same age. While, this year can benefit some people who apply to forign university, when they can have a chance to learn carefelly their language. But i think to be able to speak the language of the college it is beneficer to the student more than anything.
