Read about these students’ experiences on a gap year before they started university. Richard is studying English. He went to India. What did you do? I worked for a local newspaper as a trainee journalist. Journalism is very competitive and it’s difficult to find a job.

India was fantastic – not only did I learn a lot about journalism, but I also met some amazing people and saw some beautiful places while I was travelling. My favourite place has got to be the Taj Mahal – it’s the most spectacular building I’ve ever seen.
