"I just graduated with my BS in Psychology. I went to community college for three years then transferred to Walden for the last two. The curriculum is challenging, but well worth it. The professors are professional and are highly educated in their field. I did have one major problem with grading with one professor, but the issue went to the dean and was resolved. I really feel like I earned my degree, and I am now pursuing my MS in Psychology through Walden. One downside-this school is expensive, but I still felt it was worth the money. Overall a very good University."

"The programs offered at Walden University online work well for students that can not attend a normal on campus program. The staff is generally very knowledgeable and respond to emails in a timely manner. In some cases the work load of classes is extensive, but they are typically research type classes. The discussion aspects of most classes is repetitive and can be time consuming with little additional information related to class progress. Overall Walden has provided me with an opportunity to obtain my Doctorate degree without having to sacrifice my current living arrangements. Walden is a great educational facility and should be considered when choosing an online university."

"With working full time I am able to continue my studies in a masters degree in mental health counseling to further my education and career. I have found that Walden University meets the career and educational services for individuals who are working adults. The professors and advisors are available to their students when questions are needed regarding either their work load, regarding assignments, and/or financial aid services. I have found that Walden University has serviced my needs in being able to further my educational goals in being able to obtain a Graduate Degree in Mental Health Counseling and very satisfied in the services I have received thus far and would recommend them to other students."

"Walden University's online program in Mental Health Clinical Counseling requires diligence and dedication, as well as a high level of responsibility because students are on their own regarding research for class discussions, formal papers, and final projects. The expectation of quality, professional research and writing is high at this university. Students who complete this program will finish as better writers who are knowledgeable about the topics in order to contribute to the field, as well as positive social change, as scholar-practitioners. The only draw-back is that online learning may be more difficult for some due to the lack of constant, in-person, professor contact."

"This program is great for people who are already working or who have busy lives. The student support is wonderful. The work is very rigorous, so don't be fooled by it being an online program. I feel that I paid attention more, because I didn't have an instructor always in front of me to lean on."

"As an online student, a few of the categories for rating do not apply (living, campus safety, transportation). A "not applicable" option is needed. I'm learning a lot about through Walden experience. The professors I've had the privilege to follow have been very helpful and rapid in responding to my inquiries. So far, I haven't had any negative experiences. Time management has been my bear and that is through no fault of Walden. The subject matter is easily relatable to real life and work situations. I look forward to completing my program and continuing my efforts at social change by applying my new knowledge."

"Don't do it. You will regret it. The program starts out well and the support from the program disappears quickly at the end. After taking nearly 60 credits of courses with a 4.0 GPA they decided to add four more course to the curriculum. They offer no assistance with the capstone. You will be on your own and frustrated by the end it is a guarantee. Please allow me to save you the heartache and bills. Do your homework before making this investment."

"I went to Walden for my Masters degree. I was in the online accelerated Elementary Reading and Literacy Program. Overall, I loved the program. Yes, it was challenging and required you to put in the time. However, I worked full time teaching and went to school full time and was able to complete all my work so that my weekends were free. I thought the professors were very friendly, always responded quickly to e-mails and played an active role in student learning. I would highly recommend Walden, especially for the particular program I took. Great school. If I were to do it all over again I would make the same choice!"

"After completing all my classroom requirements at Capella, I failed the comprehensive examination twice and was not allowed back in the school. RIDICULOUS!!!! After spending all that Cash on Capella!!! Walden accepted my credits and I did not lose sight of my educational goals because I want to make a difference in the world. While at Walden, I have decided to put my dreams of having a non-profit into action. My professors have been very supportive and have aligned me with several resources that will help me make my dream into a reality. Capella really sucks, but Walden really embraced my motives and educational ambitions."
