The Keeter Center and Dobyns Dining are a "must stop" whenever we are in Branson. The dining room provides high quality food and service (by students who are working in exchange for their tuition/board and room. They are well trained and it's fun to visit with them to find out where they are from and what their major is at... More

Our daughter graduated from there in 2000. She could have attended any college of her choice after high school, but stated she wanted to pay for her own education. She loved her job on campus (the purchasing office) and continues to visit there regularly with her husband and children. The children love staying overnight at the Keeter Center. She and... More

The college very graciously hosted the families of the graduates for graduation, lunch and a reception following graduation. My problem was that it took an hour to leave the parking lot. We sat from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. without even moving from the parking lot or anyone leaving. The main road, and there is only one that I know... More

This is a MUST DO early in your stay, as you will want to go back. We had lunch there and the service was GREAT, as was the food. All run by students who are very well trained, friendly and provide an outstanding experience. More

I love the restaurant on this campus. It's run by students as part of the work for tuition program. The museum is interesting (on the campus), and the coffee is top notch, We often just go have ice cream (made by the kids on site) and sit on the porch. More

College of the Ozarks is a great opportunity to further ones education without having to take out thousands of dollars in student loans. While I did not attend myself, I have hired many who did graduate from this school who were well prepared to walk into the business world. More
