I'm not entirely sure how the employment mentioned in the financial aid package I got works. Do I have to start looking for a job on-campus once I arrive to the university in august, or can I/should I start looking for it now? Do I personally have to make sure that what I gain covers the amount said in the FA package or will the amount specified in my financial aid letter be for only personal expenses? Will some of that go to pay tuition and other college expenses? Also, what are some of the best jobs on campus? Any help would be appreciated!

ETA: Another question. As an international student do I have to do anything extra to be able to get a job on campus? Probably a stupid question, but I really want to make sure I do this right.
