Amazing school and great faculty!
Overall 4.8
A lot of change and development sense I attended here, I have no regrets. Smaller school than the University I transferred from, Which means better connections, better reliabilities for a successful future.

Campus is completely gorgeous. The quality of education received there is outstanding. All professors are more than willing to help. Great community. Very Christian (Catholic) environment and peaceful. (Not exactly the biggest party school, but they're definitely there if you look for them)

Walsh is an Awesome School. Athletics and Educational Value are great. Great school to be a student-athlete at. The food is pretty good has it bad days just like any school. This school has a lot of resources available and really wants you to succeed. Parties are ok and getting better and dorms are pretty big. A lot to do in North Canton
Overall 4.2
The Good: NCAA Div 2, small clean campus, Giant Eagle and food across street, Academic excellence, Party scene is growing, alcohol permitted, large rooms, plenty of building to study in, Great Community feeling. The Bad: Main dining hall is hit or miss, good amount of commuter students, can be hard to find parties at times, course work is tough

A lot of money but you know you are getting the best quality of education.

I was nervous coming into Walsh but couldn't be happier! I've met great friends, got involved with many clubs, and enjoy my classes. Professors are great and will help you if you come to them. Although sometimes it feels like a lot of the resident students go home on the weekends, we still manage to have fun!!

Transferring to Walsh from another college was a breath of fresh air. I have never been so inspired by my professors to reach for boundless potential. The professors strive to keep their students well rounded and overall, educated. As a student paying for my own education, I can honestly say I feel I am putting my money to something of use.

Walsh is an awful school. Everyone raved of it but then you get here and the professors are terrible! They teach you one thing and then test you on something completely different and they don’t care. How am I supposed to learn when my professors don’t even teach the right things. Awful university
Overall 1.5
I wouldn't recommend transferring to this university because you have to wait for certain courses to be offered, and if you are not in a "buddy" system forget about it because buddies, athletes it happens everywhere but this university is clueless. After a practical or quiz nursing students telling other nursing/premed students whats up.

Walsh is a great SCHOOL. Nothing else. The food gave me and my roommates diarrhea almost ever day, the internet is HORRIBLE, no one stays around for weekends, and the president doesnt care about any of this, if you ever see him before graduation. I am so upset I stayed 4 years here. I really wish there was a 0 category for some of these questions.

All around terrible places. The food is truly not edible a couple times a week. Chicken is rarely cooked all the way through. Tuition is way to high for what you are getting. There sports facilities are an embarrassment. Football team plays at a local high school because they dont have a field. Save your money and go to a real college.
