@jrlcc2019 : I can’t give any info on Communications/Journalism major, but I have one daughter who is an Aggie Class of '16 and one daughter who is currently a Freshman, Aggie Class of "21 so I’ll share general Aggie and CStat info.
College Station is built around the TAMU Campus.

The TAMU campus itself is huge, but the town isn’t. But it has everything you need within a short distance, HEB Grocery Store, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target plus a LOT of other stores. Not sure if all are on the TAMU bus line, but even if you don’t have a car, a friend is usually available to share a ride. TAMU and College Station are the friendliest place I have ever been, EVERYONE has been so nice since the first time I stepped on campus many years ago.

Both of my daughters went GREEK and loved it. Since TAMU is so large, it is vitally important to find a smaller group to belong to, asap. My daughters’ sorority is large, but still much much smaller than their class size. Being in a sorority has helped both of my daughters to make a lot of nice, like-minded friends who will hopefully be life-long friends. There were 6 sorority sisters who were in my older daughter’s wedding and a total of 15 sorority sisters attended her wedding! I hope for the same deep connections for my younger daughter. And so far, she has a group of amazing sweet, smart, funny friends who love her dearly. I have met several of the moms of her friends and they are also wonderful people.

The Aggie Network is invaluable if you plan to live and work in TX.
