Anyone with experience at BUTI Tanglewood?

We did BUTI a few years ago right after the post-covid reopening. It may be due to them having been shut for 2 years, but when we arrived they couldn’t even give directions to the dorm or to where to store the instrument. It was disorganized to say the least. Lots of times schedules were off as well whether it be about where the bus will be at Tanglewood or what time breakfast opens (e.g. said 7 but didn’t open till 7:20 and kid had to be somewhere by 8, etc.). Yes, the dorms are very very run down like prison barracks and there is a lot of walking required. It’s a wonderful experience musically as long as the student is able to deal with the living conditions, the physical exertion, chunks of unsupervised activity, and potential lack of consistency in scheduling of events. And the bears… lol
