Thanks for the link. 1. That's good to hear. 2. I am a bit worried about that, which is why I want to take advantage of the opportunity now rather than four years from now when it might not be available. 3. I do have family to stay with there. 4. That's definitely true but I personally value money/opportunity/career to dating. 5. My plan right now is to do exactly that. I am a bit worried about how a gap year will affect my scholarship opportunities though.
