Dean College

Loved my time at dean. Class of ‘04

Worst school I’ve ever been too. It’s a scam

We went with our son who is accepted to Dean for our first visit. Truly a great experience very well run accepted students day.. The entire staff was exceptionally nice and friendly. My son loved the way he was treated and was so happy that he decided Dean is the place where he will thrive. Dean has good energy all around and if my son is happy so am I! He chose this college for the programs, the staff and the small hometown feeling. Very grateful for Dean staff making us feel so comfortable today and what a fantastic lunch! We are looking forward to orientation in June!

Spent my first two years of college here as a theatre major, and while I liked it at first my opinion quickly changed.
PROS:
The professors were easily the best part of my experience here. They quickly got to know who I am and what I'm like.
Small campus makes it very easy to get around.
As for everything else, I can't speak very highly.
CONS:
The PRICE. Even with all my scholarships and financial aid I still felt bad for my parents having to pay so much when I knew by my sophomore year that I wasn't going to be happy at this school.
There's nothing to do on campus or in the surrounding area. I have spent many days in my room bored out of my mind.
Classes are far too easy. I can't recall ever spending more than an hour or two total on any given assignment. I spent some classes paying zero attention whatsoever and still managed to pass everything.
Even as a theatre major, I got cast in a single show during my time at Dean. Even so, it was just an ensemble part and I couldn't help but feel like I was only being cast out of pity. Part of this did help me realize that theatre wasn't what I truly wanted to do (but that's not on Dean, that's on me).

I transferred after my sophomore year and I can honestly say it's the best decision I've ever made. Dean was okay my first year, but after the terrible sophomore year I had, I'd be happy to never step on that campus again.

The Joan Phelps Palladino school of dance at Dean College turns out some of the best performances of the region, year after year!
Congrats to all those who make it
Possible.

Let me start by saying I have not actually went to this school but I did apply ( And my grades are definitely high enough to get in ) but my admissions counselor was Very rude ( witch is unfortunate because they. Had a program that I was very interested in ), I explained my situation and then he responded I felt he was being rude but I just went with it then he made a remark basically saying that I won’t get accepted to any colleges because of the situation witch is untrue it’s not a big problem either ( I’ve been accepted to 5 to be exact ) and when I let him know that he replied very rudely and went on and on about it . I them just said ok and hung up . I was very disappointed because this was. Collage I honestly was interested in but I don’t want to attend somewhere that I don’t feel welcomed or just genuinely happy with my counselor. My situation has been fixed since then it wasn’t a big huge thing but I still won’t be attending because of this situation. It’s very unfortunate .

The year I attend Dean was the worst year of my life. They prey on kids who's options are limited. Once they cash your check you are forgotten. A horrible place. Stay away. Go to a community college instead then transfer to a proper university. Please do not let your children suffer at this miserable "college".
