I am going to apply for a job in San Angelo, although I have never been there, it seems like a nice town from what I read on the internet. What do Aggies have to say?

OP,

Lots of good Ags here and it is a good place to live.

Post back when you get in town and I will buy you one at The Casual Pint downtown.

Who are you going to work for?

Solid town.

What a coincidence, I was in San Angelo on Friday...



Tenders at El Paisano

Lived there from 1977 to 1984 as a kid. Moved in 5th grade. Lots of good times there and my grandparents lived in Ballinger. I am 47 now and am still mad my parents moved us.

I agree with above posters. San Angelo is a wonderful place. Lots of warm wonderful people. I've lived in this area most of my life and always come back. Let's us know if you need recommendations for local spots.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I just posted my application on Monday. I'm in the USAF, and there's an opportunity to work with the ROTC unit at Angelo State. The other options this cycle for ROTC in Texas were UH and Baylor, and I'll just say that Angelo State is my first choice to get back to Texas.

Y'all have confirmed my feelings that San Angelo is a good place to live. This might be my swan song in the USAF, so even after the assignment is over, I'm looking for somewhere to stick around after I hang up my uniform.

I won't know until the fall if I get the job. Thanks again for the positive replies.

President at Angelo State was a Lt General in the Air Force and went through ASU. My dad is still in the area and knows him through alumni stuff. Says nothing but great things about him.

I'm actually an Angelo State Grad /Aggie T-shirt fan and I really enjoyed going there and working there.

I left SA in 2008, a few years after I graduated, because there wasn't a lot of job options for me and living in the same town as my parents wasn't great for my marriage (I love my parents and they're wonderful people but being in the same town just wasn't working out.) the town went through a great revitalization in the 2010s and I always find a lot of fun new things every time I go back. Nice little green Oasis in the desert.

I wouldn't hate ending back up there some day.

I would strongly consider retiring in San Angelo.
It has a 1980s small town feel for its size of 100K.
I only wish it had better airport options, but with the current BS it may not matter.

I lived there in my early childhood and then again back in 2011-2013. Angelo State is a nice quite small campus so definitely a good place to work. With everything going on I think it's a good option. Not a lot of entertainment since it's a smaller town and a good ways from the major cities but if you like the slower pace it's nice.
