Princeton agrees, and is crafting its own gap-year program. It'll send some of its newly-admitted students away for a year, to do "social service." Ew, social service? Like with poors? What about getting stoned in Amsterdam instead? Charitably, the university "would not charge tuition for the year abroad... Proponents of the year off say it allows students to discover themselves and the world before they enter college." [NYT]
