Gap Year Blogs

Thinking of taking a gap year? Not sure where to go or what to do? We’ve put together a page with links to various gap year blogs, by past and current gappers who want to share their experiences.

Hopefully they will be of some use in your decision-making, as well as entertaining reading!

Student run websites, blogs and diaries
There are lots of students out there talking about university firsthand in blogs or on their own websites. Reading some of them will give you a good idea of what it's like to be a student, or study at a particular university.
Although many blogs are often rarely updated, boring or filled with useless rubbish, we have managed to find some that are generally interesting and should give you a good picture of university life.
Featured blogs
As well as our area for student blogs, we've set up this dedicated section to feature other types of blog that we feel are relevant and useful to today's youth.
Including topics such as apprenticeships, unemployment, finding a job and enterprise, we hope you find them all of interest.
