I personally liked seeing all of the diveristy and opportunites within the community of San Marcos. Not only that but the river's are extremly fun when spending that time with a community. San Marcos is very home-like, with it's weekly held events and organizations that it offers to the community! The people here are very nice and hold a very strong diverse culture here.
It's a wonderful place, especially if you're a college student. The town is so lively and filled with people and entertainment. Plus, it doesn't hurt that there's a beautiful river that runs through town!
Love this area! I live in aSan Marcos due to being a student at texas state university (and from Dallas originally), and I absolutely love the change. I've lived here for over a year now and it has been amazing. there are so many restaurants and food options everywhere for when you're hungry, entertainment places (especially on the famous "square") and it's super close to Austin, New Braunfels, and San Antonio which is a huge plus. everyone in the area is also really nice- I'm always running into very friendly people when I am out and about in the city. Definitely recommend living here!
