If you live there, how do you like it? Is there a good ska music scene? Good cheeba? I'm thinking of going to Texas State, that's why I'm asking.
San Marcos is a pretty cool town and you're only about 30mins from Austin, so you have the live music scene really close.
San Marcos is pretty expensive. i'm surprised that you aren't giving some major consideration to Austin ~ lots of other students, excellent music scene, better quality/quantity herb, free public transportation for students, etc., etc., etc. Oh! And then, San Marcos and what it has to offer is just an hour down the road, and San Antonio is about 2 hours down that same road!
San Marcos has good cheeba as it comes from houston or austin. It is also close to Wimberly, a great place to relax with that good cheeba
