re: What is College Station like?

You really have to include Bryan as well if talking about College Station. It is very much BCS more than just one of the other.

Restaurant scene has gotten better over time. Still a ton of chains but some actual nicer standalones have come along and upped things several notches.

Campus is huge and is at the north central part of town. North of it is North Gate, the primary nightlife scene. East of campus is a string of restaurants and stores with residences behind that. South of campus is mainly residences. West of campus is FM 2818, a bunch of apartments, a few communities, then a bunch of farm land.

South part of town has exploded since I was down there. So many more communities and businesses.


Things to do if you're visiting
-George HW Bush Library
-Bonfire Memorial, Memorial Students Center, Aggie Park
-Go to a game if it's a game weekend
-Check out Northgate, eat a Freebird at the original location (in texas... think there was a one off in california first), have a beer at the dixie chicken, learn to play 42 at the dominos tables there
-Play golf on campus or find somebody that knows somebody at one of the nicer private courses
