I graduated from C of O in 2009 & this is a wonderful college. Gave me so many opportunities I would not have had otherwise. Beautiful campus & I recommend stopping in for a meal at the Keeter Center & visiting the Ralph Foster museum on campus. Also walk down to Point Lookout by the chapel (also beautiful inside) for...

Not many people think of College of the Ozarks as a place to go for vacation, but the Ralph Foster Museum is every bit as interesting as any of the overpriced museums on the Hwy 76 Strip, and it's only $6 for adults and free for high school age and younger.

We enjoyed our tour of the campus and lunch at the lodge was very good. Worth a stop and neat to see kids working for a free education.

Very interesting school and the lunch was great. Ran into a student Hannah at the dairy area and she gave us a wonderful tour of that area! All the students were interesting to talk to

Probably the best school of it's "kind" in the country. It's "kind" being a school that promotes being Christian, Patriotic and morally correct.

We only drove through the campus and made a brief stop at the main reception (& dining) area. On another trip to Branson it would be nice to see a lot more of the college. Its concept of working for your education and contributing as you go, are admirable!

Great place to visit. The restaurant was delicious. It is an interesting college where the all the students work a set amount of hours to pay for their college. It allows a lot of "first generation" college kids to achieve their dreams of a college education.
