it is for college, some people take 1year off from school and then come back, usually changing thier majors, or even going to a different field. you dont want to be graduating with a degree you dont like, since you wont get financial assistance after you already graduated.
if you mean a gap year "from a job, like quitting it" that is abnormal, and usually indicates something deeper going on.
