NYU Atlantic Studio Summer Reading

Hello! I am entering my first year at NYU Atlantic and have not had much success finding out about summer reading. I am trying to get a sense of what the studio assigns. I have heard that most of the time, assignments are not posted until 2 weeks before classes begin, which concerns me as I will be out of the country the week before welcome week. I have also heard everything from 2 assigned books to 3 books and 6 plays plus essays. Any insight? Thank you!
