      I started Walden University on 08/30/2021. Normally from past experiences you receive financial aid. I was told they were switching ownership over to Adtalem Global Education which has caused a short delay. It has been over a month and we still have not received financial aid. Why would you switch ownership over in the beginning of the fall. They promise it’s a short delay. They don’t know when we will have financial aid. I feel so scammed. I have never experienced this before.

      Horrible university. I had doubts when I entered my program (MSN - PMHNP) but it was so convenient based on being online and having multiple start dates so I just went ahead with it. BAD IDEA. I would advise anyone to avoid this program at all costs. Imagine spending the nearly $50,000 for the program and then having to pay for several review courses (over $1,000 total) to actually learn content to prepare for the boards. I have been a straight-A student through undergrad and then with another master's degree program I completed and though I am still getting a 4.0 here, I have learned next to nothing. Instructors are difficult to communicate with and overall disinterested in teaching. There are no lectures, notes, Power Points, etc. for any courses. The courses with a midterm and final you do not get to see the results of your exams, you simply get a score. Every single exam I have taken has had multiple errors, which have affected the overall score (for example questions that have no correct answer listed or repeated questions or questions with every answer the same). Just very poor choice on my part to go against my better judgment and enroll, but by the time the worst of the issues came up I was already halfway through and couldn't afford to transfer universities at that time. I am a firm believer that you get out of your schooling what you put into it. Unfortunately at Walden, you are so severely limited on what you can get out of it that it's not worth it. My advice is look elsewhere. Do not waste your money here. University of North Dakota and other online programs are much more organized and student-friendly. Walden is simply interested in the money.
