Women's Art Journal, n.paradoxa (feminist art history/ issues of gender and identity)

Hello! I have recently been accepted to Hunter's MA program and I'm in the process of deciding between a few different masters programs. My focus is in modern and contemporary art, particularly issues of gender and representation. How have you generally been treated by the faculty? In your experience, have they been very willing to work with you, or are they far more interested in their own work? I'm coming from a (really) small liberal arts college in which classes are tiny and I've gotten a fair amount of individual attention. I'm willing to forgo some of this for the benefits of being in NYC and the professors' connections, but not if I am not able to make any connections with professors! My other question - how common is it for students to get prestigious internships with local museums and arts institutions? It seems like Hunter doesn't work with you too much, you're more on your own? as the department doesn't give out student contact info to prospective students, any info you could offer about general student life would be greatly appreciated!!
