Students that can live in a strict environment wih no drinking, following all the rules, staying on top of their schoolwork and being able to not get stressed out because of all the bureaucracy. It's a great college because it WILL teach you to work hard and learn to follow rules especially with this new generation thinking they are entitled to everything.

The best thing about College of the Ozarks is that the college encourages you to be something you come here believing that you are not. The faculty and upper-classmen really help push you to be a good student and never want to see you fail. The rules that the college has are designed to provide this same support as well. In the end you become something you always knew you could be...but never believed it could really happen.

I wish that I had known how to study for classes before I came to College of the Ozarks. Every student has to find their own groove to study with, but usually, it seems, students that get that groove during high school struggle far less with adjusting to college life.
Read all 5 answers What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The most frustrating thing about College of the Ozarks is the emphasis on looks. The administration does everything possible to make sure everything on campus looks presentable to the many donors that are frequently touring campus. However, the school could take part of the effort put into looks and put that into character building. Many times students feel that as long as they look good on the outside, it does not matter what is on the inside. A lot is said about character building, but in my experiences the heavy emphasis on outer looks does more to hurt character.
Read all 4 answers What is your overall opinion of this school?
C of O is a huge bubble. It is it's own town, Point Lookout Mo. It looks pretty and perfect on the outside, but once you're there it can feel like a prison because it's so small and closed off from everything around it. Freshmen aren't allowed to drive during the week, their cars are literally locked away. It's like the administration is afraid their students will do something to taint the school name. And that's what's most important, the school's name not the students.
Read all 1 answers What is the stereotype of students at your school?
C of O follows very strict standards of behavior. It is a private, non-denominational christian school, but it's very much Presbyterian based. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just wasn't expecting it. The students are expected to follow all of these rules of conduct or face expulsion, and public humiliation. The stereotypical C of O student is perfect, doesn't do anything wrong, and is very appreciative of their school where they work 15 hours a week in addition to school work and their tuition is paid in full.
Read all 1 answers What are the most popular student activities/groups?
The dorms are off limits to the opposite sex except for one night a semester each, Men's Open House and Women's Open House. Although, the Deans usually roam the halls on those nights. I made most of my friends in Chapel Choir because we spend almost every Sunday singing at Chapel together. Alcohol is not allowed on campus, or off campus for that matter. And parties usually consist of meeting at a dorm's coed lounge, playing silly games, watching movies, etc. One night a group of my friends even walked to a McDonald's off campus. That has to be the most wild thing I've done at C of O. Oh, and there are many dances and activities like Coffee House put on by Student Senate.

This is a high point for C of O. The professors in the music department are amazing. Dr. Gerlach taught me theory and sight singing three semesters in a row. He got to know me very well. He takes an interest, not only in his students academic well being, but spiritual and even emotional well being, as do most all of the professors. They probably could be teaching at a higher level if they wanted to, but they choose to teach at C of O because they believe in the values of C of O.

Read all 1 answers Is the stereotype of students at your school accurate?
Absolutely not. I mean, I'm sure there are some students like that, but who actually likes to work? Not many people. Balancing school and work was harder than I thought it would be, plus most students try to do even more by getting a job outside of school. It's hard! There are plenty of students who don't like being required to go to convocations or chapel. There are students who aren't christian at all, their parents just sent them there to be "fixed". There are PLENTY of students who hate the work program, but it's all they can afford. But 95{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of them keep their heads down, grin and bear it.
