One of the most unusual colleges I’ve ever visited is the College of the Ozarks, and within that campus one of its most interesting buildings is the Keeter Center.
The Keeter Center is a beautiful multi-functional building that features excellent dining (the reason we visited the college was because the restaurant was so well regarded and recommended), a hotel, and an events center. What makes the Center so unique is that it is staffed by college students who use their labors to “pay” for their studies as part of the College’s Work Education program. By working 15 hours a week, students earn their tuition and can graduate college debt free.
Dobyns Dining Room is a beautiful space that serves delicious meals. It’s open for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch — we enjoyed a tasty dinner here. You’ll be well looked after by the students who work here, from the hostess to the waiter, to the people who prepare your meal.
As I’m prone to do, I photographed a sampling of what the four of us ate for dinner (see below)
