Dallas is a great place to be year-round! Whether you are just staying for a bit or are spending all four years of your college years in this magical place, there are some things that you simply can’t miss out on doing. Case in point: museums. I know, I know, there are some of you out there who absolutely avoid museums like the plague, but trust me when I say they can actually be very interesting/exciting places to go visit. At the very least, you can take a few Selfies and brag about how cultured you are on Snapchat!
