Taking time off?

<p>Is it a good idea to take a year off after your first year in order to figure things out or should you stay in school until you know whether or not you want to transfer?</p>

<p>I think if you need to figure things out you should take a year off. But while taking that year off you should do volunteer work.</p>

<p>If I have some ecs, will the year off matter?</p>
