The campus is very beautiful and close knit, everything is in walking distance. The staff is amazing and each professor knows each student on a name by name basis. Dean is a wonderful community of talented individuals and the environment is very positive and friendly.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get to know your teachers and go to their office hours They are more than likely to help you even more if they know you well and you seem interested in the class. Speaking of class, don't miss it. It only takes one day to fall behind. Get involved with activities on campus, you'll make great friends that way. The biggest advice I can give is to manage your time well between your social and academic life.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Academics at Dean depend on your major, but everyone at some point will need to take the general requirements For example, an early childhood major is going to have a completely different course load than a dance or theater major. Don't get me wrong theater majors, myself being one of them, have a lot to study, just not a textbook. Reading plays, analyzing scripts, researching, practicing monologues and lines, is just as difficult as writing essays on children's behavior. I'd say the general ed classes are intermediate level of difficulty. If you do your work and show up and really try, you will have no trouble passing! Studying makes a big difference between an A and a C.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is great! Well, there is one freshman dorm with tiny double rooms, but other than that all of the other dorms are very well sized. The new dorms are suites that include a living room and bathroom and shower room for each suite. I used to live in one and it was pretty amazing. Make friends with the people in your building and invite people to hang out! Host a movie party, play video games, or whatever you like to do in your spare time.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food at Dean was so exceptional when I went for accepted students day and I was hooked. Since attending, I don't want to say I am disappointed but every meal isn't as marvelous as when I first ate at the dining center. There meals are very good though, depending on what they have to eat. They always have salad and pizza available for lunch and dinner and they always have deli sandwiches for lunch. There is always something to accommodate everyone's taste.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is a train station that is a 2 minute walk from Dean that will take you directly into Boston! As far as campus life, there is almost at least one thing to do every weekend on campus such as dances, trips, shopping shuttles, etc. There has been movie nights and airbrush hat and even flip flops! I have got some pretty rad things while at Dean, my favorite being a snow globe of me and one of my best friends. There is also a rec room with a food place called Boomers where students can play pool and table tennis and a lot of students gather there to watch sports.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is no greek life unfortunately.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There is public safety on duty 24 hours a day seven days a week and they are extremely helpful.
