    Dean is one of the most unique schools I have ever seen. The teachers and staff always go above and beyond when it comes to helping their students. The food is always super good, and its buffet style so there is always a lot to choose from. The only downside is the cost. While almost every student gets financial aid between 18,000-22,000 for the school to be almost 60,000 a year, it can be a bit too much for the average family. However, the staff is worth every cent!

    Dean has a family-like atmosphere and the small school is conducive to a great learning experience. The "Dean Difference" shows in the care and concern that each student receives from both their Career and Academic Counselors to the faculty and staff.

    I knew when I took my first tour of the campus that this was the place where I belonged. They truly do meet every student where they are and raise them up to excellence. It is a private school that isn't hung up on getting the "perfect student." Instead, they look at each student as a whole individual, and then they build leaders.
    I am looking forward to be starting the next four years of my life as an exercise science major and football player at Dean College. Dean College is a small school in the town of Franklin, Massachusetts. The atmosphere and the energy from the people and the student at Dean is mind blowing. They take so much pride in what they do at Dean and make it a priority to make sure you have everything taken care of. Dean is a really great place for me to learn and to continue my passion in football and I'm excited to continue my path with dean. #GoBulldogs
