BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION

Bryan and College Station are twin cities in Brazos County, Texas, that form the Bryan-College Station metropolitan area. The area is located in the Brazos Valley region of East and Central Texas and is known as “Aggieland” because of the nickname for Texas A&M University’s sports teams and students. The university’s main campus is the center of the area’s social and economic life.

Born of converging cultures and built on deep Texas roots, Bryan is a community filled with authentic stories, people, and places – their legends. Their legends are ever-evolving while staying true to the Texas spirit. Bryan is conveniently located right in the heart of the “Texas Triangle.” That means it is less than a 3-hour drive from each of the largest metro areas in the state. Being approximately from Houston, 102 miles from Austin, and 175 miles from Dallas makes it easy to get to Bryan from just about anywhere!

College Station is an energetic and innovative community filled with almost endless possibilities. Its authentic, friendly people and unique experiences make visitors and new residents feel genuinely welcome.

Those who study, research, and teach at Texas A&M use their skills on campus and beyond to foster a productive climate of innovation and creativity. The many fine restaurants, stores, and hotels reflect that environment. The industries are cutting edge, and the leaders are entrepreneurial- just like the university.

As of 2020, the Bryan-College Station metropolitan area had a population of 268,248, making it the 15th-largest metropolitan area in Texas. The two cities are about four miles apart and a nine-minute drive between them.
