The article examines the phenomena of the “gap year” in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to analyze the regional university students’ perceptions of this phenomenon in general and in the context of the pandemic, in particular. The results of the study showed that many students have only a superficial understanding of the “gap year” and most would not want to take a year of gap in education for a number of reasons. The authors conclude that in the Russian reality it is quite difficult to implement the “gap year” due to the low level of awareness about it among schoolchildren and students, weak financial and mobile opportunities for the majority of Russians, and conservative views of most parents.
