Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students who are too busy for the in-person classes and are fast learners will prosper at Walden University, students that have a very active home life will also benefit from Walden as well.
Tips for prospective students Always stay organized and use the tips that the instructors give, time management is easy with Walden because the professors will work with you if you ask them to.
Bang for the buck This school has the best prices I have seen thus far not only is the tuition reasonable but it includes the cost of books, dvd's, and any other materials needed for the course.
Am enjoying being here I enjoy the convenience of the Walden university online program, it allows me to be a mother, wife, and RN all at the same time. It gives me the flexibility to balance my personal and professional life.
Am learning a lot I have learned so much new knowledge that I would not had a chance to receive had I choose another university. Not only does Walden have great student support services they have excellent professors mainly doctorates and the have a wealth of knowledge that they share with the students.

Categories Comments Campus Safety You never have to worry about safety. Walden's online format offers a completely violence free atmosphere. Make the right choice and seek a higher education.
Clubs and Activities While there are no traditional clubs, Walden offers an extensive online format with student to student and faculty to student support via email and/or chat. You are never alone at Walden, while support has your back, current students are always there to help.
Great for these types of students Walden University is great for all students; particularly for international and regional students who may seek unusual, or otherwise unattainable programs to bolster their professional endeavors. In addition, Walden is the ideal institution for working professionals and single parents.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus It is highly unusual that graduating classes know each other by first and last name basis, have debated each other and really come to like one another without ever having seen each other. At Walden, one really looks forward to making connections that last and can be conceptualized via fiber optic connection worldwide.
Bang for the buck I have a Bachelor's degree in Health Services Administration and graduated Magna Cum Laude from a local College in my area; however, in this difficult and highly competitive economy, I was unable to gain employment in any field until I started working toward my Master's at Walden. In fact, Walden seemed to open many doors for me as I began speaking confidently and passionately about my field of study to employers. Walden has changed my perspective about the job market and myself as I am now gainfully employed in my field of choice and looking forward to the future.
What to do for fun Attaining personal and professional excellence is not for the faint of heart , or the weak of will. However, learning from a distance has its benefits; such as maintaining social status while impressing your friends with your academic prowess. Go ahead and show off your smarts; attend Walden!
Food and Dining Eat whatever you like while you study online in your pajamas! Online education is the perfect venue for working professionals, single parents and the elderly or disabled. Imagine attaining your highest and finest good: all from the comfort of your home.
Dorm Life N/A; live at home and attend a globally enrolling school! Walden University is an online Undergraduate and Graduate College perfect for the working man or woman seeking a higher path for success. Walden offers both certificate and degree programs for personal and professional achievement in a globally diverse and currently relevant atmosphere.
Academic Rigor Walden will set a fair and stimulating pace; it is up to you to keep up! Those of you looking for an easy A may as well not apply as Walden is for diverse and intelligent students seeking a broader understanding of themselves and the world around them. Walden University is setting the bar on distance learning and you could be as proud as I am to say that you helped to set that standard.
Tips for prospective students Each student at Walden should have, or develop, a basic knowledge of current internet capabilities, and have a general understanding of Internet access and etiquette. Further, Walden students must be self-motivated and willing to dedicate at least an hour each weeknight to their online studies. Posting early and often is the best way to achieve an excellent grade at Walden while they guide you through the process of achieving your very best.
In three sentences Walden University is a highly accredited institution that functions through motivating altruistic individuals by furthering their pursuits in academia. The faculty and staff at Walden achieve this goal via intensive efforts geared toward personalized attention and exceptional instruction aimed at bolstering far-reaching knowledge of each chosen field; engendering each student with a comprehensive vision of their future.

Great for these types of students walden university is a very diverse university that spans the globe. there are international locations that make it interesting because you can interact with people all over the world. online learning is especially nice for stay-at-home mothers, working parents or someone who is in need of a flexible schedule.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus at home learning.
Bang for the buck prices are comparable to other online courses.
Food and Dining at home learning.
Dorm Life at home learning.
Academic Rigor classes are hard but college is not supposed to be easy, right? the online format makes it fit into a busy schedule better than campus classes.
Tips for prospective students this is a fast paced online program. people think that because it is online that it is easier, this is not true. i have taken classes at a college campus and these courses are actually more in-depth. this school allows you to work on your studies at home or anywhere you can get internet service. the instructors are very helpful and the classes are set up to be user friendly.
In three sentences walden university online is a convenient way for students to find the time to study along with working and taking care of families. the online program is user friendly and the staff are knowledgeable. the classes are fast paced and cover tons of information.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students who are disciplined and are serious about their education. If you are not disciplined then distance learning is not for you. It requires focus and dedication in order to be successful.
Tips for prospective students Make sure that you print out your syllabus and get started as soon as your course opens up and stay on top of your assignments. Always reach out for help when needed immediately when confused on an assignment instead of procrastinating.
Bang for the buck I am saving money by choosing an online school. The tuition is cheap compared to other online schools and the accreditation is on point.
Am enjoying being here I love being a Walden student! The teachers and advisors are really friendly and helpful with any questions I have and I would recommend this school to anyone!
Am learning a lot Walden University is a great learning experience. There are tons of reading and writing assignments and I feel that my writing is improving thanks to Walden and their caring staff.

Tips for prospective students the courses given are very well planned. it is important to remember to do your discussions as well as your applications in a timely fashion.
In three sentences i think that walden university gives the student a wonderful education and experience. the instructors, not only give educational advice but also practical advice on the subject matters being taught. i would recommend a person who doesn't have time for a class room setting education to try walden.

Categories Comments Campus Safety since it is completely online, you have nothing to worry about.
Clubs and Activities has numerous, numerous types of clubs. the whole ecampus life is devoted to developing a community full of student interactions and activities.
Great for these types of students great for students who work full-time and can't go to class at specific timings. good for students who don't learn well in classroom setting and enjoy using the internet.
Bang for the buck the university is accredited and is taught by professors at masters and doctorate level who have a huge variety of experience in their fields. for example, my communications professor is an actor and has got many accolades for his directing, acting, and producing.
What to do for fun they have an ecampus life where there are various clubs and activities that you can join.
Food and Dining since it is online, the food and dining depend on your service at home and how well you cook.
Dorm Life since the university is completely online, there are no dorms. if you pretend that your bedroom is your dorm room, then you probably have the most comfortable and private dorm in the country!
Academic Rigor because it is online, you are expected to write more and constantly express your thoughts and opinions. the teachers are strict in grading but thankfully there is rubric provided for every assignment so you are never clueless or lost about anything!
Tips for prospective students don't be overwhelmed by the initial orientation class. just go through it, most of the information is something you already probably know. believe me, it gets much easier after that!
In three sentences walden is a complete online university with help from the enrollment officer every step of the way. instead of the typical three semesters, this university has four quarters per year and each class is normally five quarter credits. it is an excellent university that is completely focused on its students

Categories Comments Great for these types of students great for students who have an adult life that they are not able to put on hold. also great for young adults who would like to go further in their education but are not wanting to relocate or go through the hassle of college life. also great for those who usually find themselves ahead of the curve and are frequently bored in class because of the slow pace.
Bang for the buck this program was the most inexpensive but covered more course topics that i felt would benefit me in the long run.
What to do for fun i experienced the college life during my undergraduate career so now that is no longer something i look forward to. i do everything that i would do normally for fun including hanging out with friends.
Food and Dining since it is online, i fix my own meals.
Dorm Life since it is online, i live at home. :)
Academic Rigor course work is difficult but at the end of the course students are better prepared. the course work forces you to learn and seek outside references, making you more involved in issues currently going on.
Tips for prospective students if you have never taken online courses before please be prepared to work hard and read a lot of material. if you have taken online courses before, please do not under-estimate the course load!
In three sentences great university for a working adult who wants higher education that is actually creditable! classes instructors make sure that students have a solid understanding of course materials and the degree requires an actual internship that is not online, giving students a competitive advantage in the working world! class work is done at your own pace and it is possible to have a full life outside of school work

Academic Rigor i have found the program, thus far, to be very challenging. the teachers are very involved and available. but, you have to be ready to do the work - and there is a lot of it.
Tips for prospective students be prepared and committed. the online learning environment is very challenging, fast paced and requires a tremendous amount of dedication. it is also very rewarding.
In three sentences i have been attending walden for over a year. the program is challenging, the teachers are attentive and involved and the online platform is well developed and easy to use. in addition, walden offers wonderful supportive features such as tutoring, advising, and career planning.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students independent, self motivator's and learner's, stay at home mom's, and for people who want to get their degree in spare time.
Bang for the buck the price of tuition is lower than many online schools and they offer a great degree in several areas. overall i am so happy i chose walden over the other online schools i was looking at. i must say, the other choice i had was $40,000 more for my degree than what i am paying at walden.
What to do for fun play sports, hang out with your children and grand children, watch a great movie, play games with the family,.
Food and Dining i am a great cook, so the food here at home is always good.
Dorm Life i am an online student so i live at home.
Academic Rigor fast paced classes.
Tips for prospective students you must be able to read and comprehend at a high level as you are basically teaching yourself. the reading that is needed for each class is quite high as the professor is not right there lecturing students. it would be nice to see the professors teach by video links.
In three sentences awesome school. efficient friendly staff that are easy to work with and willing to help you in anyway possible. good curriculum, average workload, and not an overload of assignments.

Bang for the buck compared to most other online schools, walden university's tuition and fees are more reasonable. i would reccommend walden to everyone!
What to do for fun online school
Food and Dining online school
Dorm Life online school
Tips for prospective students the only dumb question is the one never asked! ask questions! it is important to stay ahead so you don't have to catch up. print out all course requirements and keep it in a binder. print out all weeks assignments ahead of time, so even if you don't have access to a computer, you can see what you have to do next. maintain a positive attitude!
In three sentences i am pleased with my decision to attend walden university. the support they offer is amazing, and the class structure meets my needs. i am able to work full time and pursue my degree!

Tips for prospective students if you are a fast learner then online would be a good way to get your degree. if you need some time in the learning process i would say go to a physical school where you can get help if you need it.
In three sentences the classes are every six weeks with a week break every two classes. i am learning a lot but find that some of the professors are complacent and are only there for their pay. i pay $1300 per class but should be paying $300 because i do it online.

Categories Comments Clubs and Activities They do not promote as many clubs and activities since it's online but I feel that they could offer more or at least promote clubs and activities across the country.
Great for these types of students Adult students, continuing education, post-graduate.
Bang for the buck For an online school it is reasonably priced. They also offer a military discount, which is helpful for those in the service (dependents as well).
Dorm Life It's an online school, I don't know what their dorms are like on campus.
Academic Rigor I have learned a lot of new information and my program is challenging. I have found that some professors have low standards, which is frustrating but the end of term evaluations are a way to ensure it doesn't happen in the future.
Tips for prospective students Compare and contrast universities that offer the same program and determine which is a better fit for you. I would also recommend asking the speak to their advisors and other staff members you know you will have to interact with. This will give you some insight into how you will be treated as a student.
In three sentences Walden University is convenient for working professionals. It provides an interactive, online community with qualified instructors. The advisors and other office personnel such as student services and financial aid need to improve their professional conduct and communication skills.

What to do for fun Chat with other student online and definitely get out and about at a residency!
Food and Dining online school
Dorm Life online school
Academic Rigor Since you primarily work alone, a high level of dedication is necessary, but this brings out the best in people and allows for a very diverse interaction from fellow students. You get to learn about some unique perspectives, as your classmates are all over the country and all over the world!
Tips for prospective students Make yourself heard - both to the school (admissions, financial aid) and within the course. Utilize all the resources available to you - and if you notice something missing, suggest it be added!
In three sentences I think the program and people at Walden are fantastic! The opportunity to meet and interact with both students and instructors at the residencies is phenomenal and the online community is supportive as well! I would highly recommend this school for anyone wanting to work online and receive their degree.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is on line so they are pretty safe. They work really hard to set-up a secure website so that students can access their accounts in safety.
Clubs and Activities I do not know of any club activities at this time.
Great for these types of students If you are a full time working parent that has no time to go to a campus then this is a good school for you. Other wise it is not the best if you need hands on communication with an instructor.
Bang for the buck It is a school that cares about the student and they do realize that you as a student can not afford pricey books. They recognize that the economy is under distress and are quite willing to offer budget friendly books that are great for any budget.
Food and Dining The campus is completely online so there is no dining offered.
Dorm Life There is no dorm life because everything is offered online.
Academic Rigor The courses are actually hard but there are instructors that are willing to work with you, so long as you communicate with them and keep them aware of it.
Tips for prospective students Try to keep ahead of assignments. If you keep ahead of assignments then you do not have to worry about a lot of points being deducted from your assignments.
In three sentences I think it is a good school that will work with you as long as you are willing to do the work. I have had teachers in my past that were unforgiving when it came to turning in asignments no matter what the circumstance. Teachers here understand that you have a life outside of school.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Walden University is great for students who are committed to going to school and are able to budget their time effectively to meet all of their personal and academic goals.
Bang for the buck I researched online masters programs and this was the most cost effective program that included all the books and other materials shipped to me at no additional cost!
Dorm Life This is an online program so you can go to class from your own bedroom!
Academic Rigor I have found the online classes to be manageable but I did have to stay organized and not procrastinate. The classes are application based so there are no tests but you are asked to apply your new knowledge to an assignment every week. It is challenging but with commitment everyone can be successful.
Tips for prospective students I would suggest that future students take the time to do the practice class to get a feel for what the actual classes entail because it is a true example of how to students attend class at Walden University.
In three sentences Walden University Online is a great program because it is student centered, the learning is application-based, and the online tools are designed to promote success. The instructors are experts in the field and interested in promoting the students as the new leaders of the future. Finally, Walden University is an affordable program that includes all books and educational programs at one cost.

Academic Rigor academic rigor is very high and actually requires much more APA formatted written work than many traditional institutions.
Tips for prospective students Set daily and weekly coursework completion deadlines, keep a detailed calendar, complete all work by the respective deadines, and contact your professors with questions...they are very helpful.
In three sentences I am very happy with the professors in my Ph. D. Health Psychology program. I am also pleased with challenging academic level of the courses and strongly endorse the 'scholar practitioners for social change' mission. It must be said that my phd health psychology program requires multiple weekly APA formatted, research-based assignments, projects and papers, which are surely more intensive than many brick-n-mortar APA accredited institutions.

I truly have enjoyed the entire process and look forward to completing my degree with this college.

Categories Comments Academic Rigor The assignments are challenging, but they make it difficult to get your assignments when everything could be on a blackboard. Instead you get assignments in Discussion, Resources, and Assignments and Projects.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you know the cost and if you may need additional funding, if so Walden is not for you. I did my research but did not think about the need for additional funding.
In three sentences Accessing the class assignments are complicated and I feel it could done a much simpler way. The instructors challenge the students to think critically and express our thoughts without plagiarism and write with integrity. The Enrollment Adviser is supportive and accessible. It is very difficult to get private loans with Walden, which is not made known prior to enrolling and you don't think about it until you need it.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I am online student but tips for students who attend class at the school are as follows: Carry your cell phone all the time. Do not walk alone in the dark. Walk in groups especially at night. Know your surroundings. Do not get in a strangers car for a ride no matter how desperate you may be to get some where. Meet in a public place if you need to meet someone you don' t know very well. Learn how to say no when necessary.
Greek Life Greeks are the natives and inhabitants of Greece. The ancient people with non-modernized cultural beliefs that may have different views of women and other cultural beliefs. Although modern people often have myths about Greeks that may not reflect their true way of living. I don't think that Greek life is applicable to Walden.
Clubs and Activities It is ok to attend club in moderation as long as it is not distracting the individual from his/her school work and other important responsibilities. Extracurricular activities are good in moderation as it helps one to mature, learn, grow and get prepare for life events and challenges. It enables one to become a responsible and contributing member of the society.
Great for these types of students Online education is ideal and great for working adults. It is also suitable for working mums who have difficulty maintaining the schedule that comes with traditional schooling. Online education is great for people who like to make their own schedule and people who have transportation problem.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is this yearly traditional festival in Nigeria named OGHO FESTIVAL that is celebrated every June - August. During this festival, each village of this city will have a day specifically reserved for them to have their own ogho dancing. The ogho dancers will wear beautiful mask covered with nice arts of different colors on their face while the rest of their body will be covered with elegant nice lace material. People from other cities will show up to view the dance. Young girls and boys will invite their girl friends and boy friends for sleep over for 5 consecutive days.
Bang for the buck This is by far the most inexpensive and affordable school compared to all the schools that I researched. It really worthy it.
What to do for fun When I am not busy with school work, I watch movies and extra buttered popcorn.
Food and Dining I am taking online courses so I don't know much about the food and dining at Walden.
Dorm Life I am taking online courses so I don't know much about the dorm life at Walden.
Academic Rigor Judging from my undergraduate program -BSN, I figure this program will require even more study time. Researching on what it will take to succeed in graduate studies has helped to answer some of my questions. My understanding is that 5 credit units will require 10 - 15 hours of studies. Since I will be carrying 10 credit hours every quarter, I estimate about 20 - 30 or more hours of studying per week. I believe it is doable. I will make good use of time management. Avoiding procrastination and being motivated will help me to achieve my goal.
Tips for prospective students You don't have to worry about buying books on your own. The school will send you the required books before the beginning of each semester. You also don't have to worry about your course registration because the school automatically registers the classes for you. Make sure your GPA is 3.0 or above to apply. Walden has awesome academic advisers who call almost every week to make sure they update you on what is going on and to make sure all your questions are answered. Make sure you have planner and external flash drive where you will save all your works before posting your papers to the discussion board.
In three sentences Walden university is the most affordable university compared to all other universities that I researched on. I like their course schedule and for me I have to carry 2 classes every quarter semester which is manageable with part time or full time job. Most other universities require you to have 2 years work experience before admission but for Walden, you can graduate from nursing school and be able to get admission right away for your graduate studies without having to work as a nurse first.

Food and Dining As I stated before this school is online and does not offer food/dining. So this question does not apply to Walden University.
Dorm Life Walden does not have a dorm life. This school is strictly online.
Academic Rigor I can honestly say this school has changed my whole outlook on online schooling. I prepared myself for extremely hard, fast pace,overload, work, and surprisingly the school is what you make of it. Since I have been at Walden I have taken 6-7 classes and I have obtained A's in all of them.
Tips for prospective students There are three tips that I would give to any perspective Walden students; do not procrastinate, get to know your online classroom,as well as other students, and remembering you set the tone of what you will get out of your class. I like to stay on top of things so for me staying on top of discussions,and assignments as easy,but I do know people who got so far behind they could not catch up. Make sure you remember this is a 6 week course design for learners who do not mind fast pace.
In three sentences Walden University is the perfect fit if you are a student who has so many things going on that the only time you have to set aside for school is real late or early morning. Even though, I am not in a traditional classroom I still feel like I am apart of elite group with the same common denominator, obtaining a degree. This school is a melting pot of all types of cultures, race, sex, age and other which makes discussion even more fascinating.

Bang for the buck Walden is expensive, but not more expensive than most private schools are today. The cost of education is reasonable and affordable, and the university has tried to keep costs stable over the last few years due to the economic problems in the United States that would have prevented many prospective students from being able to go to college. You get an amazing library center with a ton of resources and services available, a writing tutorial center, and an excellent advising service with advisors specializing in the needs of your program. Walden is a well-known school and is rapidly increasing in international popularity, with students enrolling from all around the world!
What to do for fun This is not applicable, since it is an online school.
Food and Dining This is not applicable, since it is an online school.

Academic Rigor I am very happy with the academic rigor. The courses are very well designed, interesting and challenging. They are organized to properly and sequentially grade the student to build the necessary skills they need to gain from a particular course, to the degree that you know your stuff when you're done!
Tips for prospective students Not all of the programs for licensures are accredited by umbrella organizations. For example, while the university is accredited by the Middle States College Association for accrediting colleges, the clinical psychology doctorate program I am in is not accredited by the American Psychological Association. You need to check with your state licensure requirements to ensure you will be able to apply for and receive licensure in your state when you graduate. Walden's program is very well designed and many have succesfully graduated and become licensed clincians, but this is something that you should keep in mind when applying.
In three sentences I am enjoying my experience at Walden University. The courses are well-designed, interesting and challenging enough to maintain my interest. The university is very well-organized and has a wealth of resources available to help students through their programs.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Perfect fit for older students, well disciplined students who aren't expecting a handout, and students with some experience under their belt.
Bang for the buck At $290 per credit hour (quarter based), it's the cheapest online university I have seen. Definitely a better bargain than Univ of Phoenix! With degrees in several areas and ranging from certificates to Ph.D's, I think it's a great deal.
What to do for fun unknown
Food and Dining unknown
Academic Rigor I would say that with anything in life, you get in what you put out. It's not Harvard, but a degree from Walden is not a walk in the park. They definitely are not a diploma mill, which is what a great deal of people mistake it for.
Tips for prospective students Remember that going to an online college/university means that a lot of your decision needs to be based on your level of self motivation and discipline. For new high school grads, I would suggest the typical brick and mortar school in order to experience the college lifestyle and to ease yourself into the college experience.
In three sentences Walden has a broad variety of majors to choose from, with online Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees available. They have several accreditations, but check your field to make sure your field is included. There seems to be a great deal of essay writing, and most classes are 5 quarter-based credit hours. Each class lasts for six weeks and you are considered full-time if you take one class every six weeks. I would use caution however, in regards to their financial aid. While federal loans and grants are available, you are on your own in pursuing aid. Their financial aid dept is terrible with follow through or financial aid guidance. It's been two months since I filled out my FAFSA and took out my loans...I still don't have any financial aid.

Food and Dining You eat whatever is near you. This is online schooling!
Dorm Life You live at home! What can be better than home cooking? :D
Academic Rigor You have to be self motivated to survive here.
Tips for prospective students My biggest tip is to read read read EVERYTHING that's available to you on the student pages. Find groups on facebook with students that have similar interests as yours, its a big help. TALK TO YOUR ADVISORS, they are there to help you.
In three sentences This school is wonderful for the busy student that doesn't like traditional school settings. The classes are straightforward and upfront, the grading is fair. Its a great college experience without the campus!

Great for these types of students Graduate school - working full or part-time - interest in the social science field.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Walden emphasizes a commitment to give back and be a socially responsible involved human being
Bang for the buck In addition to the courses, adademic materials, online library and access to professors - Walden offers career placement seminars, writing seminars, a first-class online library and other optional instruction and opportunities to participate in the online community. A very good value, I think.
Academic Rigor Overall, I would rate the academic rigor as Moderate - but some courses were substantially more demanding requiring time spent doing research and projects as well as producing a thoughtful final paper.
Tips for prospective students Be realistic about your work load. Taking two classes - with responsibilities to post in discussion groups each week, complete class reading and video reviews, write a one page papers and work on a final paper for each class was challenging while still working full time
In three sentences Walden worked with me to gather the things I needed to enroll. The school has a quality and committed faculty. The course work - all online - is interesting and relevant.
