About San Angelo
Angelo State University is located in San Angelo, a West Texas community of more than 100,000 artists, ranchers and small business owners. The city offers the amenities of a large city with small-town charm and convenience.
Downtown and Shopping
For those who like the hustle and bustle of the city, there is always something to do downtown.
Various downtown dance clubs and pubs offer every kind of live music, from country and rockabilly to jazz and Tejano. San Angelo also offers all of the big box stores and restaurant chains found in metropolitan areas, and two multiplex movie theaters are also popular entertainment destinations.
Arts
Whether it’s the Starlight Studio at The Chicken Farm Art Center, a favorite for ceramics enthusiasts, live performances at the Angelo Civic Theater and the San Angelo Symphony, or the monthly Downtown Stroll of the Cultural Arts District, San Angelo truly is an arts epicenter.
Culture
Of course, with rolling hills full of mesquite and prickly pear cactus, this West Texas town wouldn’t be complete without a rodeo and a historic Civil War Era fort.
Outdoors
San Angelo boasts an average of 251 sunny days each year. The weather allows the city to offer a variety of outdoor options for all interests.
In his song “Only a River,” the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir sings that he’s “going back to San Angelo,” so won’t you join us too?
