Rating 3.99 out of 5 527 reviews
I went to college in San Marcos, Texas at Texas State University. I love that the community is focused on environmental efforts. There is the San Marcos river that runs through it offering many recreational and beautiful experiences to be surrounded by nature and float the river! I would like to see more of an emphasis on efforts to preserve the City of San Marcos.
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!
