There is such a spectrum of extra-curricular activities available nowadays, ranging from gardening to reading and playing sports.

In many countries, students take a year gap after finishing school and work or travel during this period. Should students take a gap year before attending universities? What are the advantages and disadvantages of it?
Nowadays, there is a growing trend to have a year off after school and before applying to university. After graduation, individuals will have an opportunity to travel, understand their desires and aims, and have time for excellent preparation for exams. However this free year might cause laziness, forgetting material and lack of motivation.
