Should I do the Barnard pre-college program?

I want to do the Barnard pre-college program next year when they will be in person. Is it a good idea, or is it just a waste of time? Barnard is my dream school, and I really think that this would be a good way for me to get to know the campus and student life more.

I think it would be a very good introduction to what it is like to live and study there, from meeting professors to living in housing, to using the subway and dealing with everything that comes with being right in a huge city. If you are thinking it might be your first choice, it seems like the pre-college experience could help you make sure.
