Located northwest of Houston and northeast of Austin, College Station is home to Texas A&M, or Aggieland. The town of Bryan is next door, and together the two form the Bryan-College Station metro area. There is a real college-town feel here with shops, restaurants, entertainment, and of course, anything sports-related. Head there for a dose of Texan culture, a burgeoning nightlife and plenty of opportunities to stay active both indoors and outside. Book one of these top College Station hotels, available via Culture Trip.
