To gain experience for life and her profession in the future, Paula Wein, BIS 2020, made a conscious decision to challenge herself with an opportunity to grow as an individual and make her gap year truly worthwhile.

The paths graduates take after BIS are as diverse as the school itself. Some decide to take a voluntary gap year, others set up their first start-up and still others, like Henri van Wasen, go to University to study. Beginning in October, Henri will study Human Sciences at Oxford, one of the best universities in the world. Van Wasen describes Oxford as a university "surrounded by a palpable atmosphere of intellectual wealth, tradition, and zealousness."
