How miserable of a place is College Station?

I've never been to College Station, but what would make someone want to leave for Baton Rouge? I've been to Baton Rouge and it's a shite hole. Plus the AD's job at College Station was on cruise control. He had Jimbo and Buzz in their two biggest sports. Now he's at LSU with a head football coach that probably won't ever beat Saban or win the SEC West title. Plus a college basketball coach whose job is in limbo pending the FBI / NCAA. That's a lot of stress for someone to take on. At A&M you don't have to worry about winning championships. Just finish in the middle of the pack and you're good. Plus they have an endless supply of cash.

Does living in College Station really suck that bad?
