Location, Location, Location.

Looking for a residential campus experience out of a movie that can be found at a stereotypical New England college with classic buildings and a pastoral landscape? Looking to go to school in an environment that provides the safety and comfort of the small college town? Want easy access to the excitement of the big city? At Dean College, you can have it all!


Conveniently located in Franklin, Massachusetts, Dean offers students the best of both worlds – small college without being isolated. Locally, students can enjoy a wide variety of restaurants, shopping and amusements. When they want a night out in the city, the commuter rail is a mere block from campus, providing easy access to everything Boston has to offer. If that isn’t enough, Providence, RI is only 40 minutes by car. In addition, the beaches of Cape Cod and the mountains of Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire are only a hop, skip and a jump away. The Student Life office even plans regular trips for students to get off campus to enjoy activities throughout New England and New York City!
