Review of Bryan, Texas


Miserable place to live
Star Rating - 8/6/2019
I lived here for nearly twenty years and hated every minute of it. It is very conservative and intolerant and the crime is rising every year. The weather is horrible--hot and humid from May through November and rainy in the winter. There's mosquitos and roaches and it just doesn't make having any sort of outdoor activity possible; when it's cool enough to go do something in the evening, you have to deal with monster mosquitoes. If you don't drink the A&M koolaid then you are considered an outsider and there isn't much to do unless you subscribe to the whole football mania and sports craze and an Aggie fan is a true lunatic. I was never so happy as to see Bryan in my rearview mirror. They have the saying HWY 6 runs both ways, it sure as heck does and I'd say keep on driving.

No culture?!? Have you people never attended the Thursday night Drag Shows at Papa Perez in Downtown Bryan? Queenz Maria would beg to differ!!!!

I agree wholeheartedly with Suzanne. This city and its residents are very disagreeable unless you are a strong supporter of the same political party, are a church goer and are not critical of the lack of diversity, the lack of arts or want to city to come into the 21st century. Coming from a larger city with aggressive and supporter of left leaning politics, you are frowned upon and become an “outsider” no matter how long you live here or your character. I strongly encourage people who are more liberal and want a vast array of culture of expression as to your way of life, skip Bryan as a place to live. Unless you are a church goer or are a strong right wing supporter, you will be looked down upon. This was only to be a temporary stop to Austin, and since my husbands business changed to permanent residence, I have been extremely unhappy all 19 years that we have lived here and see no chance of moving in the next 15-20 years!
