One of the oldest diploma mills. Walden University = the degree is not worth the paper it is written on. Walden University = you won't get a job as a result of your education.
My half sister got all her degrees from online universities that were diploma mills. First, American Public/American Military University for her first two degrees then Walden University for her Ph.D. They accepted her credits from her community college days and gave her credit for "life experience." So, she really only completed one year of education at APU/AMU for her Bachelors, then she completed barely a year for her masters. Then, her sister (my other half sister) went to AMU/APU shortly after and submitted the same work the other sister submitted. One of the two pursued her Ph.D. at Walden and thinks it was legitimate. Later, she was laughed out of job interviews and figured out her program was not accredited and she wasted her time and money in the program, since no one will hire her. Also, no one will accept her credits from Walden University.
She claimed she was trying to be the first one in the family to get an education. I guess the type of education didn't matter. I graduated from traditional colleges and universities and went on to get my law degree (a juris doctorate) and a post-doctoral degree (all from traditional schools where people knew me), and I got a very nice, fun, and high paying job. I guess she didn't get the memo.

Get the Walden University mug.The only school dumb enough to advertise on a page that their ex-students call them a diploma mill, a marketing company masquerading as a school, worse than a community college and the bottom of the barrel of accredited colleges.
Seriously, I don't have anything against Walden University. I would never go there, don't know anyone who would and would never even consider it. But if you have no other choice, I guess that it's slightly better than not going to college. Just expect to be laughed at by most perspective future employers. I only found this page because it comes up in the top 5 google searches when you search college rankings or best colleges or something. Weird eh?

Look to the right, above or underneath this post - Walden University is actually advertising on this page! Now that is sad.

"The shit"- slang for the words awesome, nothing better, everybody comes. As you would think 'waldenburg is still named "the shit" but this time it has a different meaning.
"The shit"- A huge ass pile of shit. It could be the bp store keeping this town togather but who knows it could be the "shit" deck.

Get the weldent mug.Did a Walden !
To blame a car crash on a mechanical fault,
Common for a guy or girl to blame a car or motorbike crash on a mechanical failure or fault.
Driving abilities vary between person to person and it’s common for someone’s ability to let them down even in dry conditions. It’s easier to blame the machine than themselves, it’s hard for them to come to grips that they need more skill or to go back to basics.
In the event of a crash, a bystander will often say he’s doing a Walden
