I have had nothing but amazing experiences at Dean College. Everyone is extremely helpful. I recommend the academic coaching at least for your first semester, just to get you organized and get through any anxieties you may be having. Get involved! Dean has great clubs, and is partnered with the Kraft Organization, and so many opportunities are available.
Review Dean College
Arts & Entertainment Business Management is an amazing Major! It is so interesting and fun to learn. My concentration is in Dance, so I also get to do my passion in some of my classes. There is so many opportunities to interact with the Theatre concentration students. The main professor Joel Thayer is amazing!
Dean College is a new new on the market of colleges they have growing facilities and more and more people are starting to think about going to Dean. Dean is a very small school, so if you're looking for a big campus with a lot of people look somewhere else because you will see the same faces everyday. The town of Franklin is a very quiet town the people are nice and nothing really goes on it is sort of like a pit stop town, but they are also building new things to better develop the town.
