<p>My D has two friends in TO who were also in FSH last year. It was very demanding for both of them but they managed to survive and do well, as well as to have a decently active social life. Just two examples, but to show that yes, it can be done.
I second menloparkmom’s suggestion to try TO with SH, as you can easily change into GE the following semester if it doesn’t work out.</p>
