Bryan-College Station Halal Travel Guide

College Station and Bryan together make up the Bryan-College Station metropolitan area and the sixteenth largest Metropolitan area in Texas with around 190,000 people. This area is commonly called "Aggieland", as it is home to the main campus of Texas A&M University, one of the premier universities of Texas and the flagship institution of The Texas A&M University System. The city of College Station owes both its name and existence to the university's location along the railroad - though ironically the Amtrak train station was decommissioned in 1995.
