I would also advise making this summer between HS and College be as relaxing as possible. Lots of time with friends, hanging out, laying on the couch, etc. My D had a part time job to earn spending money for college (because it is very difficult to have a job in a BFA, or even BA MT program). My D also chose not to do any shows, just one workshop that she has been attending since 5th grade. So, when she arrived for her freshman year, she was very refeshed. But still, this year has been incredibly stressful for D - dance injuries, lack of sleep, overscheduling, etc. But she says she’s loving it - so I just say a lot of prayers!
