I was not aware that the only Psy,D. program was in research. I am exploring clinical.

Walden is a good school

Dislikes: fin aid reps and acct mgrs are unprofessional, rude, and inconsiderate often; Charlotte Bot does not work most of the time; no one to facilitate writing resources instead students are expected to go to writing center or library; staff do not inform students of auto registration which impacts fin stability; lack of patience among all faculty members when students have more than one question; too many tech problems, fin aid dept should be reformed with new training and restaffed

**Flexible Learning, but Administrative Support Needs Improvement** As a doctoral student at Walden University, I appreciate the flexibility of asynchronous learning, which allows me to balance my education with professional and personal responsibilities. However, my experience with the administrative side of the university has been less positive. Communication is a significant area needing improvement, particularly ensuring that published email addresses are valid, actively monitored, and that student inquiries receive timely, meaningful responses. Additionally, the financial aid process has felt unnecessarily restrictive and burdensome, especially when requesting reasonable cost-of-living adjustments. While I understand the need for institutional oversight, greater transparency, consistency, and individualized consideration would make a meaningful difference. Walden offers a valuable learning format, but the administrative experience should reflect the same commitment to student success that the university promotes academically. Students should feel supported throughout their educational journey, not just in the classroom.

N/A. The survey was easy to navigate.

I don't like how my instructor critics everything I send in. No matter how hard I try, it just seems like he always has a come back. He is very nice nasty towards me and I feel like he discriminates against me. I've had online classes before in the past and the instructors haven't been like this. He has a complaint about everything, and he gives me low scores. But I just feel like he wants to make feel small, to tear down the confidence I have. It took me alot of time and years to build myself up. An I won't allow my instuctor to cut me down, he reflects how he feels about his self. Then you wanna talk about "Social change" but he doesn't wanna display the change. Make it make sense! I love the school other than Scott Smith's class, he gives racist vibes. An I hate that for him and he needs to go heal that.
