Attending College of the Ozarks is an incredible opportunity. It is a somewhat small, Christian college with a work study program that allows you to work on campus in order to pay for your tuition. The faculty and staff are incredibly personable, willing to help you in every aspect of your life. Although it does take a lot of hard work to attend this college successfully, the reward of graduating debt-free is more than adequate. I love the atmosphere!
The friends I've made and my amazing professors and supervisors have made this place worthwhile for me. Honestly, they're the reason I haven't dropped out, even when I got really close.
The rules are restricting, I'm expected to behave like an adult while being treated like a child. The dorms are often tiny and infested with roaches and mold. I personally have had numerous issues with AC/heating. The food is hit or miss at best. The campus itself is beautiful but it serves to provide a certain image. And if you don't fit into the "perfect" mold, you'll know it.
There's an atmosphere of toxic patriotism that I've struggled with my whole time here. As someone more left-leaning politically, I have been shut down and dismissed by my own peers for just sharing my opinion, to the point where even my personal character has been judged. Not ideal in an environment meant for growth and learning. This won't ever change but it's definitely worth noting and has changed my view of CofO over time.

I loved visiting the campus. The students were very friendly and gave a wonderful tour. Also, there were lots of fun filled activities and the atmosphere was very comfortable and relaxing.
They are more than helpful with any questions you may have about the college, academics, campus life..etc. It's an amazing clean, safe, Christ-centered and hardworking environment.
There is nothing I disliked about the college!
