question on loans and transfer housing

<p>i was provisionally admitted as a transfer student...</p>

<p>my friend and i want to get an apartment together. he is going to cal state fullerton, though, so it probably has to be off campus. he is receiving no financial aid..</p>

<p>i am receiving $10k in financial aid and $7k in loans/work study. to pay the monthly rent for our apartment, will i receive the loans through direct deposit?</p>

<p>i haven't lived off campus before, so how the payments work is kind of overwhelming. any help would be great... the last thing i want is to get kicked out because i can't make a payment.</p>

<p>also, when is a good time to look for apartments/move in?</p>
