i really can't decide whether to:

take a full gap year to work/travel/get experience and THEN to go do a foundation year at leeds + live in leeds, then apply to uni

OR

go straight into a foundation year (aug-may) then squeeze in a bit of travel (2 months ish) before going to uni.

i really don't know what to do. as my only conflicts are - going to uni at the age of 20, missing out on more experiences gained through longer travel (4 months + ), not having enough time to get work experience needed to boost my chances of getting into the lovely Goldsmiths.

help, please?
