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 its difficult to find a job. I spoke to a careers
advisor and she said I should try to get some work
experience. I always wanted to visit India and there
were more opportunities over there than in the UK.
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 its the
most spectacular building Ive ever seen.
