What I love about San Marcos is that everything is in walking distance to each other. Walking from class, downtown is a short walk away. If I’m in a mood for dinner or drinks or coffee, it's all there.The bottom line is that San Marcos has everything I need. – Scott Jones, San Marcos Resident I’ve lived in this town or over 25 years. I attended South West Texas University Today It is known as Texas State University. Next year my grand- daughter will be attending. This is what I love the most about San Marcos, its overwhelming sense of family and tradition. Many know San Marcos as the hill country, but I just call it home. – Dorothy Cruz, San Marcos Resident I grew up in a huge city where the food is overpriced, and the people are mean. After relocating here, it's like a whole new world.. This town felt like home instantly. I love that I can have a delicious meal and not break the bank and that the people here are immensely kind.Though I was not born here, I believe that San Marcos has the ability to turn strangers into neighbors. – Jayne Miller, New San Marcos resident
