Hey there, fellow students. I've always wondered where Texas A&M University is actually located. Is it in a big city? Small town? Any insights would be much appreciated. Cheers!
Hello! Texas A&M University's main campus is located in College Station, Texas. It's not a big city, but it's not a tiny town either; it's often considered a "college town." College Station and its twin city, Bryan, together form the Bryan-College Station metropolitan area. While not large metropolitan cities like Dallas or Houston, they offer plenty to do and can give students a sense of community that's perhaps more intimate than what you'd find in a sprawling city. Plus, the cities are about equidistant from both Austin and Houston, which can be reached in a drive of roughly 1.5 - 2 hours, so urban adventures are still easily accessible for weekends or days off!
