It's common in the UK. Why? Don't know. lol Me, I personally prefer to get a jump on it and finish it up although what good it did me, I thought I was going to be a professional student there for a moment.

LOL I wish I were a professional student. I loved college, but I also don't see the point of taking a year off before going there. Jump in with both feet, I say.
Has anyone out there on this forum taken a gap year, like Emma is currently doing? Why?

A friend of mine did. I'm sure Emma will make the right decisions.

I think Jess wants to know the significance of a gap year.

To some people it's different reasons. Emma's probably going in 2009 because of filming and stuff of DH.

Has anyone out there on this forum taken a gap year, like Emma is currently doing? Why? The people who usually take a gap year are either people who are lazy and don't like to study much, so they take a break, or people who have some work to do, places to go or something that gives them no time for college. At least that's the reason here. To be honest I wanted to take a gap year myself because I wanted to have some free time before the important stuff in the life, but i decided against it cause it's very hard to go back to studying after you spend so much time doing either nothing, or everything except studying.  If you ask me, gap year is not good thing to do, but seeing Emma's case i think it's the right thing to do since she won't be able to go to college while filming DH. |

^ Okay. Thanks Katie. I was trying to find out the significance of a gap year. Like, why do it? I understand why in Emma's case, but just in general I wanted to know why people did it. And I agree Katie that I think it would be hard to go back to studying after having that time off. I went back and got my master's degree about a year after I finished with my bachelor's, and that was tough.

That's why I have been avoiding getting my masters. Too many years have gone by and I'm afraid I won't make it. I hate the idea of spending all that money and then not finish because I have lost my zeal for learning. lol
On Topic: I guess it would make sense because she will be filming and it will be harder to put in longer hours (she's over eighteen, they can work them 12-15 hours if they like) of work and then study.

I think it's wise for emma to take a gap year, achieving all A's at A-Level on top of filming Harry Potter has got to be tough, I respect her for that. It can't have been easy As Katie said, people take gap years to either go travelling (like my friend, she's going to Australia for a year) or to work and save up money to actually go to University and pay the tuition fee's, accomodation fee's ect because their parents won't pay. |

Okay, I was looking at another site and some said the story was fake because the Crimson newspaper used a fake Emma picture. So either it isn't true or being the true journalist these young Harvard students are, that they are totally unfamiliar with Emma Watson and HP and don't know a real EW picture from a fake. lol
Oh and don't shoot me. I am just writing out what was said, I didn't finish reading the comments because I was like whatever. lol
