The latest book on college admission and what makes a good undergraduate experience has been released and lists "the top 100 outstanding (but underappreciated) colleges."
Harvard Schmarvard: Getting Beyond the Ivy League to the College That Is Best for You - by Jay Mathews, is one of the country's best education reporters and a columnist for The Washington Post.
Dean College is listed as one the top 100 schools “that deserve a bigger reputation.” Dean is among the colleges and universities that teachers and guidance counselors say deserve more attention than they're getting and "students fall in love with once they get to know them."
Jay Mathews got it right when he wrote Dean is among "the lesser-known jewels" recognized by guidance counselors who have been impressed by Dean's "warmth and accessibility." See the book at Amazon.com.
"It's wonderful to be recognized! For all of us who work so hard to make our students work toward celebrating their academic and personal potential. Our students deserve recognition for making Dean a place worthy of recognition. If they didn't take their role here seriously, others wouldn't be able to see the value."
"Now the world knows what we all know!"
