Is a gap year better before or after uni?

I don't know whether to defer entry to uni for a year, or start and do one after. What does everyone think?

I think this really is a personal choice for what feels best for you. I would veer towards going before, as sometimes when you finish uni you might need money so start job hunting and then you might not get time off for years?!

I did a 12 month trip after uni, as soon as I finished I worked for 6 months to save the money then left for Asia, Australia and America. I'm glad I did it this way and loved my trip. You could also work a part time job at uni if you have the time to save the money and leave straight after.
