Walden University

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.

Walden University

An online diploma mill masquerading as a school. They started as small non-accredited college selling degrees through the mail and have since graduating to sending people spam messages about their graduate programs. Everyone who applies will be accepted as they don’t require a GRE, SAT, or a pulse. If you can pay, you can get yourself a Walden education.

Their professors are all part-time employees who are usually employed at other colleges at teach at Walden for the extra money. All of their classes are canned and don’t really require any real learning. Just write papers and do the minimum and you’ll have a worthless degree in no time at all.

The people who run the small office in Minneapolis, MN change regularly and are usually unhappy with their lives. The school goes through deans and heads of departments so quickly that even the staff jokes about it.

This is the college for anyone who wants to brag about having a degree while they’re restocking the shelves at Target.
I worked at Walden University for two years, finished my online MBA with them, and still can’t get a job anywhere else. F*ck Walden University.

going Walden

A sweeping intentional decision to let go of all that constitutes excess baggage.
In the tradition of Henry David Thoreau, we have decided we are going Walden, as a cultural and political statement; we even got ourselves a totally cool tiny home!
