I made the decision to transfer to Dean College after deciding that the first College that I attended was not the right fit for me. At Dean, I found my passion for writing. The faculty at Dean care not only about their students while they are at Dean, but also after they graduate. My faculty from Dean have gone from professors to colleagues and friends, and that's truly a gift.
