I did my masters at the Courtauld and dealt with some of the issues you mentioned. It was definitely isolating, although COVID hitting mid-year certainly didn't help, and very difficult to find work on an UK tier 2 visa. In terms of the workload, I actually found it quite underwhelming. It's pretty much 1 class with two 2-hour lectures per week and minimal reading. My advisor was wonderful and very open to chatting about whatever. The prestige has certainly helped me out immensely with post-grad opportunities, but the cost (while much lower than most 2-year programs) is still considerable.

Hi there I'm working on my Columbia application (PhD, History of Art, Fall 2021) and noticed that Columbia still lists Krauss as an active faculty member. As far as I know she hasn't been teaching or writing much over the past decade (and rightly so) and figured Columbia was just leaving her name up on their site for cred. Can anyone confirm or deny this? She would be a dream faculty member for me to work under, but mentioning her in my SOP seems useless unless she is still actively involved in their grad program.
