Your living costs at Z Islander can be covered by financial aid, just like on-campus housing.

These funds can be used to pay charges at Z Islander. Normal payment deadlines will continue to apply.
Nearly all the residents at Z Islander are students at Texas A&M University or Blinn College and the per-person contracts are also designed with students in mind. Residents/families with children are welcome. There is no extra cost for minor children in the care of adult residents, other than regular charges for each bedroom space selected by the resident. A minor occupying a bedroom space rented by a parent, guardian or person with legal custody is not considered a breach of the Housing Agreement or a violation of the rules. Z Islander is an Equal Opportunity housing provider and welcomes applications from non-students. In order to match student roommates in shared apartments, we will request roommate consent for any non-student occupants.
Z Islander has a monitored fire-sprinkler system, along with individually locking bedroom doors. Community courtesy patrols are provided at select times. Management staff are also available 24×7 and can be reached by a 24-hour phone number.
Z Islander is a pet-friendly community, subject to limits on animals and breeds. The community is smoke-free in all indoor and adjacent spaces. Guests are welcome at all times, subject to the consent of roommates and security considerations. Overnight guests are welcome, with limits on the number of days and guests.
Z Islander offers free on-site parking for residents and guests, as well as optional reserved parking for an additional cost.
The TAMU off-campus shuttle bus service stops right in front of the community and runs to campus, weekdays from 6am to 8pm when class is in session.
