About Off-Campus Housing Near Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi sits on its own island campus, Ward Island, where roughly 10,800 students live the only true island-university life in the country. The Gulf is the backdrop for everything: a campus beach, a hike and bike trail that loops the water, and kayaks you can take out between classes. The city wraps around the bay, from the downtown bayfront and seawall to North Beach and the Texas State Aquarium. Students spread across the Southside, Flour Bluff, and the causeway neighborhoods. Traditions run deep, from Anchor Camp that turns freshmen into Islanders to the Lighting of the I rally, and the Shaka is the campus greeting. You'll want a car since one causeway links the island to the mainland, but the payoff is salt air and a real beach.
Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi requires first-year students to live on campus for at least two semesters at the Island at Miramar housing. You are automatically exempt if you graduated high school more than twelve months before starting, are 21 or older by September 1, or your permanent address is in Nueces, Aransas, Jim Wells, Kleberg, or San Patricio county. Part-time and online-only students are also exempt but must file the residency exemption form.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Most students move off after their first year. Do not sign an off-campus lease until Islander Housing approves you, since the university does not manage or endorse any outside apartments. The Corpus Christi rental process is standard for Texas: an application, a fee, proof of income or a co-signer, and a deposit.
