Housing options as a transfer

Hi guys, I have been admitted to UCSB through transfering however I have not yet decided if I will be attending here but its more towards the yes side!
I want to know how tough it will be to get housing because I live 2 hours away and its a bit too far to commute. I don’t want a dorm however but an ucsb apartment.
Another question is that when I go under financial aid it states that my housing is off campus but I put that I want to live in Santa Barbara so I am a bit confused.
Thank you!

Housing is guaranteed for transfers for two years so it will not be hard to get housing. It will also be in apartments and not dorms but you will have to have at least one roommate (no singles).

Everyone has the same designation in regards to financial aid, the financial aid office has said that it will change once we sign housing contracts in June.
