[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know several people who did this and did it myself--whether because of incoming college credits, AP credits, overloads, summers, etc. All had different reasons, including financial, family care issues, etc. I most admired a friend who decided to take a semester off in the middle and go overseas and work on a work permit at a restaurant in a busy metropolis--she said it was the experience of her life, it paid for itself, then she came back and graduated on time with peers at four years. At least some of those who graduated early felt a bit left out because of all the senior events, esp graduation (one came back and walked for the grand procession, secretly). If your DC might be someone who would connect with incoming class and be interested in reconnecting at later reunions, keep in mind that they might get put in the reunion-year bucket for the year of graduation, which likely is not the peers they know--though with persistence, you can sometimes get the alumni office to recode/peg you to the four-year graduating class year.[/quote]\
that's a good way to do it.. take a gap semester.[/quote]
