The most exciting city in Texas, according to a travel site, isn’t Houston, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, or even hipster hangout Marfa.

It’s College Station, home of the Aggies, a swanky renovated Kyle Field, the 12th Man, and the Dixie Chicken.

Huh?

Does College Station even have a Buc-ee’s of its own?

OK, it does have population of more than 103,000 and is home to a college which graduates some of the most successful people in the business world.

According to Gogobot the college town ranked fifth or better in all of the categories it judged Texas cities by giving it the highest overall score.

To be fair it’s previously been named the second-fastest growing city in the country among other accolades listed on its official site, so College Station is no maroon-laden slouch.

The Gogobot brains looked at the number of outdoor spots, restaurants, bars, and hotels in 35 of the most populous cities in Texas (even Pearland!) to get their rankings.
