May 12th 2016: What to Consider if You're Considering a Gap Year. Also, Applying from Abroad, Listener Questions on College Finance

Last week we welcomed an international student studying in the US to our show.

We’re going to investigate the options and take a closer look at what you should consider before you decide to take a year off. Finally, we’ll be answering listener questions related to college finance.
