Want to echo Drake here.
The place I went to grad school had a lot of folks in their late 20s, 30s or even 40s who were coming in to get their first post-HS degree (like BAs).
After coming from a college where everyone was 18-21, the difference in approach was significant. Not only did these students treat it a lot more seriously, they frankly demanded that their instructors be on top of things, including being available, taking classes the full distance, etc....
My wife & I have discussed and agreed that if either of our boys wants to take a year or two off between HS & college, we're fine with that as long as they're doing something constructive. And "doing something constructive" could be moving to the city and working service jobs.
