We do too much in too little time
Courtauld University
Horrible lack of any care for the students
I was due to start studying an MA in Wall Painting Conservation here around the start of the pandemic, and obviously it was delayed for three years. I expressed concerns over financing it after the pandemic caused some financial difficulties for me, and the head of the course told me I could commute to London so didn't have to pay London rents and could keep a part time job while studying. I trusted him. When the course began, both of these turned out to be lies, and no lectures could be attended remotely. When I asked if they could accommodate be while I looked for a place in London, just if they could set up a Zoom or something so I could listen to the (very small classroom) talks, they wouldn't. I had to drop out. I had risked a lot just applying to that course, breaking away from what my parents insisted I should do for a career, and now I have no hope of ever even doing the job I risked so much to try and gain. There was no support, or even the least hint of apology or regret, from the university. It all destroyed my mental health, which meant I couldn't work for a few months.
My absolute hatred for this university and the people working there cannot be expressed in words. Do not study there if you have the least chance of any difficulties arising or hope for some vague pastoral care.
