Just when I think our upcoming year couldn't get any more stressful! My daughter came to talk to us informing us that she has spent a lot of time thinking, and she really wants to study abroad for a gap year prior to enrolling in college. Her brother did this and he is back visiting Germany this summer, which I think has made her think this is something she will be "missing out" on. The main difference is her brother is an international business major with no auditions needed!
After the dumbfounded looks on our faces cleared up, I just don't know if this is even feasible for someone who will need to be auditioning for BFA MT programs. At the same time, we are a family that really values culture and the year abroad was the best year of our son's life. I've heard of many people successfully taking gap years, but those were to work on skills and enhance their audition pieces, not move to Europe for 10 months.
I've spent the last few days mulling this over, and I'm still just as concerned about how this will work. I decided that maybe someone here could help throw some light on the possibilities of this actually working? Just online auditions? Maybe do the audition cycle this year and ask for deferred enrollment? I just honestly don't know!
