The Cove of Nantucket
Nothing defines a city better than its people. College Station, home to over 67,000 residents, is the largest city in the metropolitan area (pop. 152,000), and is home to Texas A&M University, the third largest public university in the nation. A Big XII Conference school and a major research institution, Texas A&M brings diversity of race, culture and nationality to College Station, and reflects much of the vibrancy, tradition and spirit that make it a special place.
College Station is in the "heart" of central Texas. Only 100 miles from Houston and Austin and 160 miles from Dallas and San Antonio, College Station is within four hours driving time of more than 14 million people. A network of well-maintained highways and a nearby regional airport serviced by major international airlines facilitate quick transportation between College Station and the rest of the country.
