Texas State's San Marcos campus is located in a growing community of 60,000 people in the Texas Hill Country. Sitting in between the major metropolitan areas of Austin and San Antonio, San Marcos is renowned for the beauty and recreation opportunities of its crystal-clear San Marcos River. There's also world-class shopping, plenty of entertainment options on and off campus, and a growing number of hotels and restuarants to make you feel at home.
The San Marcos Convention and Visitor's Bureau is a great resource for more information about travel in and around the area.
