Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Unknown  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright If your teachers like you you'll be fine. It's good for a "second chance at high school" kind of thing. Hence we like to call it Dean High at times. Almost nothing to do at any given point, and one of the most boring places ever if you don't have many friends, or a car. If you don't have both you'll probably transfer after first semester. Some teachers are amazing and should really be teaching elsewhere...others you really would just rather see retire immediately. If you get in, don't blow it, because while it may seem like a joke, you WILL be able to transfer to much, much better schools if you even try a little.

If your looking to have fun, party, and have an overall good time at college Dean is certainly not the place for you. I'm in the last weeks of my first year here and already I am miserable. I did however finish with a 3.8 GPA, which was much better than what I accumulated in high school. Next year I will be attending Hofstra University, an institution I had no chance of being admitted to upon graduating high school.That is the major upside of attending Dean, the opportunity your provided with. The downside of Dean is definetly campus life. Your stuck in Franklin, MA. which is completely shut down at about 8 pm. No bars, clubs, or any where to hang out besides Boston or Providence, which are both about 30 minute drives.Freshman aren't allowed to have cars on campus, sophomores are forced to pay 200$ a semester to have a car on campus. There are a lot of kids from the projects or atleast claim to be from the hood, the ones who aren't are constantly trying to prove to the ones that are who really gangsta that they are too. There is a serious problem with dorm rooms being robbed and belongings being stolen. The cafeteria personifies everything, you literally will think you're in the 1940's, the black kids sit in the front tables, white kids in the back tables. There is little if any class interraction. 98% of Dean students aren't very bright at all and take old high school habbits of being a lump into college and waiste their parents money. Because of low-lifes and immaturity the Residential Advisors are very strict, you can get written up for sneezing the wrong way at Dean. If your strongly considering Dean, my advice to you is to choose community college instead. That option will save you alot of money and aggrevation. If you wanna get away from your parents get a job and find an apartment. Faculty Accessibility: A, Useful Schoolwork: F Have a Question?

Kids go from their class to their rooms to drink or sleep or watch TV. Not much to do in terms of activities outside of campus although the train station is very close by. "Activities" are planned on the weekend, which depending on the event don't have great attendance. Some peoples view of fun is ultimately destroying things, which becomes annoying, and brings your attitude about your own education down. Meal plan isn't worth the money stick with a lower one, you can save money. Positive things are that teachers are mostly available if you need help, and if you find friends it can make this experience a little more bearable.

I came here with aspirations of getting my grades up and trasferring to a prestigious university. I thought by going to Dean I'd be surrounded by students with the same mentality. Could I have been anymore wrong. Here's what ticked me off the most: The students: highly UNinteligent and unmotivated. Forget going to college for an academic experience, these kids want nothing more then to get wasted or sit in their dorms and do nothing all day. Guys are disrespectful to girls, girls are disrepectful to themselves and there have been instances with students confronting eachother with guns and knives. After a year or so at Dean students either finish their colligate years for good or transfer to a similar crappy university. Additonally, it's just like high school with the cliques except there is only a 2% population of students who are highly academically driven and mature. Price: $33k. NOT WORTH A SINGLE PENNY. This school is so overpriced and it takes most if not all of its money for profit. See for yourself the next time you're in the area. The dorms are crappy, even the library isn't in that great of shape. If the tuition was no more than 20K then the condition of this school would be acceptable. But for 33? give me a break. Teachers: The professors I had were alright. Some obviously better then the others. I found the coursework to be way to easy which was understandable considering the majority of students they're trying to teach. Most of the time I sympathized with many of these professors having to teach such academically lacking individuals. Positives: -the commuter rail is 5 minutes down the street for a quck get-away. (BOSTON is amazing) -Offers various dance classes that are worth credits.(this is supposedly a decent school for dance majors but I'm not a dancer so I have no comment) As for me I did acheive my goal of getting my grades up to a gpa of 3.8 and I'll be attending a highly prestigious instituion in the fall. However this could have easily been done at a community college. Surrounding City: B+, Education Quality: F Have a Question?
