They both live in the 2.4GHz space and they both share frequencies so it is definitely possible it could interfere with any 2.4GHz clients especially in a high density environment. I don’t have any firsthand experience with this the only place I run Zigbee is at home with 1 WAP and a few Zigbee lights. I’m not aware of any students trying to run Zigbee in our dorms but it’s definitely possible.
